Vapor XXX Right hand 102 flex hossa curve 6'2'' 165 lbs hard shooting forward. Blade- ive used a ton of OPS and i love this blade. the vapor XX seems to have better feel and control but after a few minutes with the XXX i fell in love. the XXX is the harderst shooting stick i have and i tihnk the blade is the main factor. 9.5/10 Shaft- the 102 flex is a very stiff shaft and thats what i like. on the flex chart it says it is comprable to the 100 easton shaft but i tihnk its closer to 110, maybe 107? the shaft has a really long taper which also helps on the shooting aspect. out of the 7 i own, i have broken 2 in the shaft. 9/10 Shooting- this is where the XXX pulls away from all the competors. As stated before i have used honestly just about every stick out there. the XXX shoots harder then any of the other OPS out there. the long taper combined with the stiff shft and blade makes my shots just fire off the blade accuratly too. 10/10 Durability- overall these sticks have held up very well. i go through a ton of sticks and so far 3 of these have broken. regardless it was in one week of try outs, im not going to hold it against the sticks. tryouts are very rough on sticks and they were all older and have been used and hacked many times. 8/10 Overall- i believe the Bauer Vapor XXX is one of the best sticks on the market right now, if your looking for a new stick with great shots and durability i would go with the XXX. Overall Score 9.5/10
