    Nike bauer vapor XXX lite

    67 flex p92 Naslund

    Position: Center

    5'7 140 pounds

    On the ice 3+ times a week

    Blade: The blade is very thin and lively. It took some adjusting because of the livelyness, but aside from that, the blade feel is good. The blade is also very stiff, and it remained stiff for it's entire use. 9/10

    Shaft/flex: I absolutely loved the feel of this shaft. It has a slight concave and is quite thin. I loved the grip coating too, it was sticky but not too sticky. The flex was great too, it was very whippy but I like it that way. Very smooth flex while shooting. 10/10

    Stickhandling/receiving passes: As I mentioned above the blade is quite lively so receiving passes was a bit tricky to start, but I adjusted quite easily. Stickhandling was no problem, although the blade is lively, it has great feel to it. 9.5/10

    Shooting: By far the best quality of this stick. Shots just fly off the blade. The stick is very whippy, but doesn't torque much at all. Shots were consistently hard and accurate. 10/10

    Weight and balance: This stick is extremely light and balanced. Not blade heavy or top heavy at all. No complaints at all here. 10/10

    Durability: In my opinion this is the only downfall of the stick. I broke two of these in less than 3 months. Both broke about 3-5" above the hosel, right in the middle of "vapor". The XXX lites I had were from the first run and I've heard that most of the durability issues have been resolved though. 6/10

    Intangibles: Personally I like the look of the stick, minus the lime green X's. I would have prefered a different color, but it's not a big deal to me. Also, the grip peeled very easily but I didn't mind. I actually liked the grip better after most of it peeled off. 10/10

    Conclusion: This is probably my favorite stick that I've ever used (either this or the dolomite). I loved everything about this stick, minus the durability issues. Keep in mind this stick was from the first run of XXX lites and I've heard that the durability issues have been resolved for the most part. 9/10

    Here is my little piece of heaven to show off. I just got hooked up yesterday with a demo TPS R10 Whip Flex in the RH Frolov curve. Here are the pics that I have detailing the stick. Feel free to pop me a handful of questions on it, and I will try and do a comprehensive review on the stick once I get a puck on the tape for a while.

    Just be sure to keep us updated, I'm really looking forward to this review! Enjoy the stick, it looks really nice.

    Sorry for the somewhat poor quality!

    Briggy what would you say are the differences and similarities of the XXX lite and stealth CNT? Which do you like better? I had two XXX lites, both broke but they were my absolute favorite sticks, and now i'm considering yet another XXX lite or a stealth CNT. Thanks for any help, and anyone else who has these two sticks feel free to jump in. :P

    I don't know if you guys saw most of the game but David played amazing. He was dangling everyone all over the ice, making plays, and creating scoring chances. I was totally impressed by him in this game, he has hands as soft as... i don't know something extremely soft :P .
