What kind of kick does the Vapor Fly40 have?

It is a low-kick stick built with Bauer's XE Taper, so the flex point sits low for a quick release on wrist and snap shots.

How does it compare with the Vapor Fly30?

The Fly40 steps up to the XE Taper and a blade with dual fiberglass bridges, giving a faster release and more shot pop than the Fly30.

Is it good for defensemen?

It can work, but the low kick is tuned for quick releases. Defensemen who lean on big slap shots may prefer a mid-kick stick.

Who is the senior version for?

It is sized for adult players. Younger or smaller skaters should look at the junior or intermediate versions of the same stick.

What is the blade made of?

The blade uses dual fiberglass bridges, which Bauer says add shot power while keeping the puck feel forgiving.

Bauer ships Vapor sticks untaped, so you will need grip or clear tape for the blade and butt end.

Our take on the Bauer Vapor Fly40 Senior Stick

The Bauer Vapor Fly40 is a senior composite hockey stick built around a low-kick XE Taper, the quick-release construction Bauer uses on its pro-level Vapor sticks. Dual fiberglass bridges in the blade add pop on shots while keeping the puck feel forgiving. It suits intermediate to advanced skaters who want a fast release without paying pro-tier money. Against the Vapor Fly30 it adds the XE Taper and a livelier blade; against pro Vapor models it gives up some weight and premium materials.
