What kind of player is the Pulse 2 built for?

Players who shoot mostly wrist and snap shots and want a fast release. The low kick point loads near the lower shaft, so it rewards quick shots over big wind-ups.

How does it differ from the original Pulse?

It keeps the same low kick point but uses upgraded shaft and blade components. The result is a more refined feel and release than the first Pulse.

Is it good for slap shots?

It can handle them, but the low kick point is tuned for quick release. Players who lean on one-timers and slap shots usually prefer a mid or high kick stick.

What flex should I choose?

Pick flex around half your body weight in pounds, then go stiffer if you take heavy shots or softer for quick release. Forwards often size down for a faster release.

Does it come in left and right curves?

Bauer sells the Pulse 2 in both left and right handed curves. Check the curve pattern before ordering, since the lie and blade shape affect shot placement.
