- Is the Bauer PROTO-R worth it for an elite player?
- If you take a lot of slap shots and one-timers and want a stiff, mid-kick stick, it delivers strong pop. Weigh that against durability complaints before committing.
- How does the mid kick compare with a low-kick stick?
- A mid kick loads on big shots and one-timers but releases slower on quick wristers. Low-kick sticks suit players who shoot in tight and release fast.
- What flex and length does it come in?
- It is a senior stick at 60 inches with a 70 flex. That suits stronger, heavier players; lighter players may find it hard to load.
- Which blade patterns are available?
- It comes in P92, P28, P88 and P90TM. P92 is the all-around curve, P28 favors toe drags and quick release, P88 is a classic mid curve, and P90TM is a toe-heavy option.
- Is it available for left- and right-handed shooters?
- Yes, it comes in both left and right hand orientation.
- Who should avoid this stick?
- Beginners, lighter players and finesse shooters who rely on a quick release will get more from a lower flex, low-kick stick.
