BAUER PROTO2 Junior — Strike from the Shadows (30 Flex)
PROTO2 Junior delivers an elite mid-kick you can lean on without losing accuracy, while the lighter PROTO2 blade core sharpens puck feel in tight spaces. The tuned shaft stores energy and snaps back clean for confidence on wristers, snaps, and one-timers — finished in the bold Dark Mode graphic.
Note: boron fiber is integrated on 40-flex and above builds; this 30 Flex model focuses on forgiveness, control, and confidence as players develop strength and shooting mechanics. A TeXtreme® carbon shaft keeps performance consistent.

Player Weight (lbs) Recommended Flex Uncut Length Guidance 55–80 30 Flex (this model) Junior shaft ~50–53". Trim to mouth–chin on skates for control. 70–95 40 Flex (other models) If you regularly overpower 30, step up next cycle. 90–115 50 Flex (other models) Choose higher flex if you lean hard into shots.
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 60–70 lbs → ~30–35 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Stick Length Guide (by Player Height)
Player Height Suggested Length (on skates) Notes 4'4" – 4'10" (132–147 cm) ~50–53" to mouth/chin Shorter favors puck control & quick release. 4'10" – 5'2" (147–157 cm) ~52–54" to chin Balanced for handling and shooting. 5'2"+ (157+ cm) ~54"+ or consider Intermediate Use an end plug if you prefer junior flex with extra reach.
