honeless_blader 5 Report post Posted August 17, 2022 Bauer marketing has me believing they've added a layer of something in the blade and the carbon somewhere is thinner or wider or otherwise more productive... can anyone who used or has the previous nexus stick also using the Sync who can feel any sort of difference?

Read more i meant I was curious about the Hzrdus stick as you are with the nexus, your best bet is to get out there and try it yourself if they let you test sticks where you live. If it doesn’t work for some one else it doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VegasHockey 1284 Report post Posted August 19, 2022 I like the TRUE Hzrdus. The Bauer Sync is good too. Neither of them are better than the CCM FT5 Pro. My current stick rankings are as follows (current generation sticks only) and you will notice I prefer mid kick more than low kick. I mainly take snap and wrist shots, rarely do I take slapshots. I recently founds what I consider the best stick ever (for me) -> AS4 Pro senior shaft (shape and texture), FT5 Pro kick point, Ribcor blade, 65 flex. I like the square shaft and texture, the variable kickpoint loads easily, shoots hard, and the RIbcor blade allows for accurate shots (stays closed) and good puck feel.

Read more So, I've used my Sync and brought it out against my Geo and FT5 Pro. Sync is definitely an improvement over the Geo in terms of shot, lower weight and I'd say slightly better balance. Still doesn't shoot as good as CCM sticks do though, but closes the gap. Puck feel is still amazing. I still haven't dialed in if it is more dampened than the Geo, and need a few more skates with it side by side. But every time I use a new CCM stick I question why I loved the Nexus sticks so much... then I go and make a few passes with them and it all comes back. Puck feel is unreal and basically at the other end of the spectrum compared to the Jetspeed, Trigger, and Hyperlite (not saying all of those are the same, Nexus is just way softer). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vet88 674 Report post Posted September 1, 2022 I tried a sync on Tuesday, shot with it for an hour. I found it ok but the guy I borrowed it off had a different opinion. Admittedly, his snap shot is a pro level lethal missile so his view is slightly different. You can't crank the sync as hard as you can other sticks, the blade deforms too much and the shot flutters. You have to really let the stick do a lot of the work. We were also trying out an RX3 and on the speed gun the RX3 shot quicker than the sync. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
