Why Players Are Excited About the New Gold PROTO-R Stick

Aimed at advanced players who want superior shot control and power, this stick is a testament to Bauer's innovative approach to hockey equipment.

Key Features of the Bauer PROTO-R Hockey Stick
Let’s take a deeper dive into why this stick is creating so much buzz, and why it’s perfect for players looking to take their game to the next level.
-
Boron Fiber Technology Returns
Bauer continues to push boundaries with the return of Boron Fiber Technology in the PROTO-R stick. Exclusive to Bauer, Boron material is strategically placed throughout the stick to reduce weight while supercharging every shot and release. This gives players a lightning-fast release without sacrificing durability. It’s a game-changer for those who want quick, precise shots that keep the goalie guessing. -
NHL-Proven Construction
If it’s good enough for the pros, you know it’s good enough for your game. The Bauer PROTO-R is built with the #1 NHL Bauer stick construction. This isn’t just a flashy label—it delivers elite-level shot power and performance, making it the stick of choice for serious players looking to replicate the same strength and agility found at the highest levels of the game. -
Lighter than Light
At just 345 grams (with a slight variance of +/- 10g), the PROTO-R is Bauer's lightest mid-kick stick. It’s ideal for players who want to reduce stick weight without compromising power. Less weight means quicker stick handling, faster shots, and ultimately more control on the ice. -
Extra Stiff Blade Core
The extra stiff blade core adds a whole new dimension to your game. You’ll feel an enhanced pop with every touch of the puck, giving your shots more recoil and explosive power. Whether you're faking a slapshot or dishing a pass, the blade technology ensures precision with every move. -
TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber Wrap
This is no ordinary stick wrap. Bauer’s TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber is an ultra-light, ultra-strong material that protects your stick from impacts while maintaining its feather-light weight. It gives the stick additional strength where it’s needed most, especially during fast-paced, high-intensity gameplay. -
Monocomp 1-Piece Construction
Bauer’s innovative Monocomp 1-piece construction optimizes energy transfer through the stick, meaning every ounce of force you put into your shot goes directly into the puck. The seamless design makes the stick more responsive, offering a smooth and powerful shot that opponents will struggle to defend.
A Style That Matches the Performance
The custom Bauer PROTO-R stick now comes in three distinct colorways, each offering its own unique flair. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or prefer a more classic look, Bauer has you covered.
Gold: The Gold PROTO-R is the standout of the new lineup, adding a touch of prestige and luxury to your game. This bold colorway is for players who aren’t afraid to shine on the ice, commanding attention with every shift. It’s not just a flashy design—this golden hue represents the high-performance capabilities of the PROTO-R, allowing you to bring both style and skill to the rink.
White: If sleek and clean is more your style, the new White PROTO-R offers a fresh, crisp look that’s impossible to miss. The white design emphasizes speed and precision, reflecting a modern, minimalist approach that complements the stick’s advanced technology. For players who want to stand out with elegance and subtlety, the White PROTO-R is the perfect choice.
Black: The Black PROTO-R, the original from last year’s release, remains a favorite for players who value tradition and performance. Its classic, understated look is for those who prefer to let their game do the talking. The all-black design exudes power and sophistication, a timeless choice that pairs perfectly with the stick’s proven ability to deliver elite-level performance.
