BAUER PROTO2 Junior — Strike from the Shadows (50 Flex)
The BAUER PROTO2 Junior brings the proven PROTO2 recipe to rising players. An elite mid-kick profile helps you lean into your shot without giving up accuracy, while the lighter PROTO2 blade core sharpens puck feel for confident handles in traffic. The tuned shaft stores energy and snaps back clean for the velocity and precision that keep goalies guessing — wrapped in a bold Dark Mode graphic.
Dial in your shot
Mid-kick mapping optimizes the load-to-release path so wristers, snaps, and one-timers jump off the blade on line.
Feel the game
The lighter PROTO2 blade core boosts touch for clean catch-and-release plays and confident dekes.
Light to the touch
An optimized balance point makes the stick swing lighter than the scale — quicker hands, better control.
Because PROTO2 leverages ultra-light, rigid boron fiber on 40-flex and above, this Junior 50 Flex build benefits from elevated strength-to-weight and fast rebound. A TeXtreme® carbon shaft keeps performance consistent shot after shot.

Junior Flex & Length Guidance
| Player Weight (lbs) | Recommended Flex | Uncut Length Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 80–115 | 50 Flex (this model) | Junior shaft ~52–54". Trim to mouth–chin on skates for control. |
| 65–85 | 40–45 Flex (other models) | Consider lower flex if not fully loading 50 yet. |
| 110–135 | 55–60 Flex (other models) | If over-loading 50, consider stepping up next cycle. |
Quick Rule of Thumb
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 100 lbs → ~50 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 100 lbs → ~50 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Cutting a stick increases effective flex (≈ +3–5 per inch cut). Exact change varies by model.
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. |
Measure with skates on. Target between mouth and chin for most players; adjust for playstyle.
