Swaggy P Testing PROTO-R #hockey

[calebdolan]

One of my teammates had it on our practice Saturday, and it's freaking light and has cool graphics.

[channieeee]

it's one of the prettiest sticks i've ever seen!

Unfortunately Bauer time and time again keeps sacrificing durability for less weight, and almost everyone I play with that buys a top end Bauer stick breaks it almost immediately or within a couple weeks.

Then I hear people say “ well your paying for performance not durability “, but this only happens this much with Bauer. My LX Pro has well over 100 games and no issues at all, and it slings rockets with ease. A teammate bought a brand new Hyper2Lite and broke it on the first slapshot at a tryout. I play in high tier ice leagues and in a professional roller league for P.I.H.A. and my LX Pro has zero chips or damage after months and months of abuse. A guys brand new Bauer Agent’s blade breaks in half within the first week.

Bauer bought all that Easton tech, then took that tech and used it to build amazing sticks, but they took all the durability out as well. I almost bought one of these the other week. The Proto looks amazing, it felt great in the hands, and the guy using one at the store was ripping shots. Then I looked at the price, thought about all the Bauer horror stories I’ve heard and seen first hand, and went with the CCM FT Ghost instead. If they’re anything like the Trigger 7 Pro then I know it’ll last through dozens if not hundreds of games.

I’m sorry Bauer, but I’d rather have a 365-400 gram stick that last longer then the 30 day warranty then a 335-345 gram stick that is guaranteed to break within the first couple uses, games, weeks or month. Please add some weight back for durability, and next time you release a Synergy look alike just remember the silver one doesn’t have grip and most people hate grip on sticks.

Bro he was literally at the CCM hockey tourney td bro he supports literally everyone

[benbrien-dpws]

You guys should pay bedard to use the stick for a period and give it a rating

[OwenJ]

Honestly, the expensive sticks are so breakable. Best stick in my opinion for weight, price and durability it has to be the E4

[performancetesting]

Every year, some dudes act like "OMG, look at my shot and stick handling with this new stick."

You could give any of these guys last year's stick, paint it with the new decals, and they would never know the difference, saying, "Wow, best stick ever!"

I'd bet they'd go crazy still over an S17 if it had new paint.

“Let’s make it a little more interesting”

[SauceBossATWSneakySniperFreak]

Where did you get the fake cardboard plastic cut out brick wall from ?

[richiefoster]

Totally fair if anybody doesn't like it they get butthurt

[braxtonlikes]

What is better the proto r trigger 8 pro or hyperlight 2

[Spanluver]

Gimmick. The brick wall is a lot harder than the sticks at end. Plus, how many edits were made?

[chrispage]

Or you could buy a warrior with the same performance but with actual durability

[robertalan]

I really thought that was Jesse from bar down... And I've seen him shoot and I was like holy shit that stick must be something else cuz Jesse doesn't shoot like that 😂

[MitchellMyers]

Bro that’s one of my practice rinks I know because of the nh legends of hockey and Lou’s custom exhaust

[brandanlackey]

My buddy had one of these sticks and it was amazing tell it broke on a slap shot second game in…

[darksaga]

Another marketing gimmick. If you play with anybody at a high level such as juniors, college or above, none of them still use the AGENT sticks and this is another stick using the same technology.

I have a buddy who plays for a major junior team and Bauer gave him a few of these to try out. He snapped two of the three in practice and the third one the toe of the blade was mush after a period in one of his scrimmages.

That was it, he said it was trash. He went back to his FT6 Pro.
