BAUER PROTO2 Intermediate — Strike from the Shadows
Built off a winning formula, the BAUER PROTO2 Intermediate unleashes an elite mid-kick that lets you lean hard into shots without spraying them. The re-engineered PROTO2 blade core lightens up your touch in traffic, while the shaft’s tuned load path stores more energy and snaps back clean — delivering the velocity and precision that keep goalies guessing.
Dial in your shot Mid-kick flex mapping optimizes load-to-release so wristers, snaps, and one-timers jump off the blade on line.
Feel the game Lighter PROTO2 blade core sharpens puck feel for fast handles and clean catch-and-release plays.
Light to the touch An optimized balance point swings lighter than the scale for quicker dekes, lifts, and stick checks.
Select builds (40-flex and up) integrate ultra-light, rigid boron fiber to refine strength-to-weight and boost reactivity. A TeXtreme® carbon shaft keeps performance consistent shot after shot. And the bold Dark Mode graphic — a clean, blacked-out look with a confident grip finish — turns heads even before the red light does.

| P90TM (mid-toe) | More open / Lie 6 | Toe-shooters, catch-and-release | Helps elevate in tight; stable one-timers |
| P28 (toe) | Open / Lie 5 | Deception, pull-in shots | Loads at toe for fast, rising releases |
| P88 (mid-heel) | Neutral / Lie 6 | Flat, accurate wristers | Closed face keeps shots flatter; strong control |

Intermediate Flex & Length Guide
| Player Weight (lbs) | Common Intermediate Flex | Uncut Length Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 100–130 | 55 flex | Standard INT shaft (~57–58"). Trim to chin at skates for control. |
| 120–155 | 65 flex | ~57–58". Keep more length for leverage; cut for quicker release. |
| 140–175 | 70 flex | ~57–58". Minimal cut preserves load for mid-kick performance. |
| 160–190 | 75 flex | ~57–58". Consider 75 if you lean into shots or shoot from range. |
Quick Rule of Thumb
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 150 lbs → ~75 flex) and adjust: more power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 150 lbs → ~75 flex) and adjust: more power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Cutting a stick increases effective flex (≈ +3–5 flex points per inch cut). Exact change varies by model.
Mid-Kick Match
PROTO2’s mid-kick rewards stable length; if you cut a lot, dropping one flex can keep the same load feel.
