What would be the benefit of going down to a level in stiffness? thanks Yes, it's the stiffest and lightest blade Bauer makes. X-Stiff: Bauer’s lightest blade with an extremely stiff foam core. Maximizes the pop of the puck (release speed) off the blade when shooting. Puck control may be more difficult. (ADV) Stiff: Lightweight, stiff foam core with a thin dampening layer. Gives a quick release with added features to help with puck feel. This core releases the puck quickly rather than maximizing energy into the puck. (FLyLite) Medium: A lightweight, stiff foam core with a thick dampening layer. #1 Bauer blade in the NHL. For versatile players that like to handle the puck and be able to shoot in any situation. (2N Pro) Soft: A mid-weight, softer blade core with thin dampening layer. Designed for players that focus on puck feel and stick-handling. Slightly heavier than stiff blades. X-Soft: Mid-weight, softer blade core designed to hold the puck to the blade to maximize the transfer of energy for harder shots. Contains a pressurized gel that fills cracks to prolong the life of the blade. Slightly heavier than stiff blades. (2S Pro) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalForFun 176 Report post Posted December 5, 2019 FWIW I was not a fan of the retail ADV blade. Next to no puck feel whatsoever. I am a huge fan of the 1X Lite blade though (the Aerosense 2). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
