Hi

I need to replace my Bauer APX2.  What would be the closest to that stick in current ranges please?

Thanks

STX Surgeon in terms of flex profile.

I would also add the Warrior QRL line, as it is also a low kick point / quick release stick. I have a few noticed a few people that I play with switching from the Vapor to QRL.

APX2 was dual-kick, hence why I said Surgeon. The 1X was Bauer's first with an ultra low kick, which mates to Warrior's QR line.

Thanks both of you for your help, would the Bauer 1X or 1S be close?

Neither. 1N would be closest.

Thanks, even though that is a Nexus range stick?

Not doubting, just asking!

What makes you say that?

The middle is the Nexus line, the bottom is the Vapor APX w/ Intellisense line. Look how similar the flex zones are. The Nexus's flex zone hasn't changed all that much since then, so you can see it looks very similar to the Intellisense flex profile.

The Nexus line and the Vapor Apx/2  felt very different in every single aspect to me, from blade feel to stiffness rating and shooting. I am currently sticking to the 2017 Nexus line. 

I am sure if feels different to every player, and understand that it felt similar to you, but i disagree competely from personal experience.

And the 1N is not the same as the Nexus 1000, which is the stick that you're referencing in the picture.

While I never used the APX2, the SuperTacks is marketed as having two loading zones so it may be similar? Someone more familiar with both sticks, feel free to correct me. 

I know some have had issues with SuperTacks stick durability (I haven't personally), but I do know that's an aspect they're supposedly working to address with the SuperTacks 2.0.

I think the Base Nasty or their Nasty R is considered a dual kick.
