Both are excellent choices but the Trigger 6 is better for a quick release shots if you like to play in tight near the goalie. The Geo will have a bit more power if you find yourself in all kinds of situations and need the versatility. Chase at IW Hockey
Hey TopShelf! Flylite has been my go-to as well! I personally really like the Sherwood Code V, but that is a hybrid-kick point. For new, the Project X from True would be my suggestion. It is an ultra-low kick and weighs an insanely light 366 grams! Brandon at IW Hockey
hi Chase, I enjoyed using my 2N Pro stick.. I like doing both Slapshot and snapshot.. My question is should I get Nexus Geo? or Supreme Ultrasonic? Thanks Chase.
@@bassandgrass567 Thx for the opinion, but for a change I think i'll go with the Supreme Ultrasonic.. Afterall, not only that I have a Nexus 2N Pro, but I do have the topline Vapor 1x Lite.. To complete the family, I think i need a topline stick like Supreme Ultrasonic to complete the Bauer Collection Elite sticks.
I'm using a 2N Pro and a Supreme ADV (pretty much the ultrasonic). I find the nexus series a lot easier to get a decent shot off in a quick scramble, where as the supreme series gives you a much harder shot if you have the time and space to load up a proper snap shot or slap shot. As an offensive defenceman, I much prefer the Nexus because it's versatile in all scenarios. I don't take many big slapshots anymore, the game is getting to fast for that at the level I play, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on any power with my Nexus. The new sonic taper is really cool and the supreme series is becoming a more all-around series, but in my opinion is the Nexus the 'jack of all trades' stick that suits almost any play style. There's a reason why the Nexus line is the most popular stick in the NHL and a lot of player use it, despite them being wrapped as Flylites or Ultrasonics for marketing reasons.
Depends on which kick point is better suited for your game. If you're looking for a stick that can load up more power for blistering shots, the Nexus Geo is the way to go. If you're seeking a lightning fast release, the Hyperlite is the best choice. Brandon at IW Hockey
If you're looking for maximum shot power, the Ultrasonic is your stick. The Geo won't have the same top speed shot velocity but it will have a quicker release which makes it super versatile, no matter where you're shooting from! Chase at IW Hockey
General rule of thumb is for every inch cut you add 3 flex points. So if you cut the Geo down 3", you'll make it shoot roughly like a 65 flex stick. Your best bet would be to get the Junior 50 flex instead of the Intermediate 55 flex. That would give you the stick length and flex you need! Brandon at IW Hockey
1st...when I played sports as a younger man, I always used Bauer equipment! I even had my skates molded to fit my feet better! I felt at the time that Bauer had superior products! I don't remember if , in my day, Bauer made hockey sticks then! I have to admit I haven't tried these new carbon sticks so my comments are based on watching ALOT of NHL hockey! For all the improvements in design and materials what I see is these sticks breaking at an alarming rate! A rate several times that of sticks of the past and different materials! It doesn't even have to be a slapshot, I have seen these new sticks break during a wrist shot and even just a simple pass! I was wondering if Bauer thinks their sticks break too much and if they do .....any plans for a less breakable stick? mia sententia 🦂
generally speaking the lower end/lower price range sticks are more durable, but also heavier. the stick he is talking about here is their current top of the line stick, which is designed for performance and not so much durability.
When stick makers run out of ways to rob you of your money..... they come up with stupid designs that do nothing like holes in the blade and pointless geometrical shapes.
While each brand has their own miss, a lot of this technology is still pushing sticks forward. Two Nexus generations ago, the 1N weighed 426 grams and this Geo is 390 grams. The biggest driver in weight reduction is the shaft geometry that creates more stiffness with less material, which spawned from the Nexus ADV project. Looking back at it, that SlingTech blade was an experiment in blade reactiveness, which a handful of NHL'ers seemingly liked. Is that one a game changer? I'm not sure but it's wild pushes like this that helps to push the boundaries.. and thankfully it wasn't done to reduce wind-resistance (cough cough Reebok O-Stick). Chase at IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse Some of them might have changed with the kids getting into the NHL that grew up thinking "the lighter the better" but it's not true. Heck, Datsyuk used a stick that was close to 500g in an era that saw most stick around 420g. Anyway, that's beside the point. I was pointing out that it's all a gimmick. They are just adding things that literally do nothing, name it something that sounds important, use less material which makes them lighter, then call it a day. This is just another O-Stick. That's it. The geometric shape of these sticks don't make them lighter. I would bet anything that you put that stick in NHL players' hands, most wouldn't like it. They might act like it for an ad or a video, but if you look at the stick they use, it's not that. It might even get the paint job, but it's still a custom stick with a T or C shaft. As for "pushing the boundaries"... I'm not sure this is the thing that will do it. Also, why fix something that isn't broken? The Easton S19 was the best stick ever made (in my opinion). Some NHL players used them until they ran out of stock. Now they just have them made to be as close to that as possible. Most of the pro-stock sticks I get (I have quite a few because my uncle is an assistant equipment manager for an AHL team and I live literally 5 minutes from the arena) are all way heavier than the ones you get at a store, like these. I have a CCM Ribcore that is actually a Reebok 20k. I have an Easton Mako II that is actually an SE16. Anyway, nice video. But I stand by my comment.
@@darthollpheist1156 the geometry literally reduces weight and just feels better in the hands. I don’t really understand your opinion but I’m not hating man
@@Yes-cm1ph It's not really my opinion. Most of what I said is fact. Like that pros don't use that stuff and they never will. It doesn't reduce the weight. They just use less material. If you like the feel of it, you would like a C shaped shaft just as much and it wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg to get it. I hate that Bauer bought out Easton then got rid of most of the stuff that made Easton good. If you like it, by all means. I would never tell someone that they shouldn't use something they like. I'm just saying that this will go away very fast. It's a gimmick. It's just something for them to point at and say "look, our sticks are special" when really they aren't. Like I said though, if you like it, good on you.
Was waiting for this video... really hyped to try this stick out!!
You and me both! I'm still waiting to get back on the ice!

Just picked this badboy up in my curve/flex for $200 😅
Between two sticks the CCM Ribcor Trigger 6 and the geo any recommendations for me? Prices and everything
Both are excellent choices but the Trigger 6 is better for a quick release shots if you like to play in tight near the goalie. The Geo will have a bit more power if you find yourself in all kinds of situations and need the versatility.

@@ANDREWL11456 did you like the geo bc I am thinking about getting it?
@@ANDREWL11456 did you like the nexus geo ?
@@serdarali5409 I liked it a lot but it is not as good as the hyper lite
Is the Bauer nexus geo a good stick for snap shots?
The Geo is such a well rounded stick that can shoot every kind of shot well!
Chase at IW Hockey
Does the ccm p29 curve have a different lie from the bauer p92?
They're virtually identical!

Nexus geo vs Nexus adv which one is better?
Geo or 3N pro I have 2 2n pros, 1 nexus adv, 1 jetspeed ft2 and 1 warrior alpha dx
I mean Geo is the way to go if you're looking at top of the line and don't mind the price.

what hockey stick is better bauer nexus geo or bauer vapor hyperlite?
Depends on which kick point is better suited for your game. If you're looking for a stick that can load up more power for blistering shots, the Nexus Geo is the way to go. If you're seeking a lightning fast release, the Hyperlite is the best choice.

This vs the Bauer Supreme Ultrasonic stick? I have the ultrasonic, but i feel jealous about the geo.which one is better?
If you're looking for maximum shot power, the Ultrasonic is your stick. The Geo won't have the same top speed shot velocity but it will have a quicker release which makes it super versatile, no matter where you're shooting from!
Chase at IW Hockey
would cutting down the 55 flex geo 2.5-3" make the stick too stiff or kick point too high?
General rule of thumb is for every inch cut you add 3 flex points. So if you cut the Geo down 3", you'll make it shoot roughly like a 65 flex stick. Your best bet would be to get the Junior 50 flex instead of the Intermediate 55 flex. That would give you the stick length and flex you need!
Brandon at IW Hockey
How long is the intermediate stick
60" = Senior, 57" = Intermediate, 54, 52", 50"= Junior (depending on flex)

did they copy Warrior / STX ?
no
Negative, this is a whole different strategy they're going for!

I just got the geo
How comparable is this to the flylite? And is there a new vapor stick being released soon?
Long story short, it's not as quick of a release but it is more powerful! The next-gen Vapor won't be out until 2021!
Chase at IW Hockey
@@michaelmakarenko8938 overall id say Geo
Still the dampened feel on the blade? Or would you say more "lively"?
Technically, it's right in between Supreme (super dampened) and Vapor (super stiff/lively).
Chase at IW Hockey
Got it a week early lol
Nice!
The seams on the bauer sticks are pretty busch league bs competitors. Look at the rough line on the underside of the stick.
Huh
