WHO’S IT FOR.
Bauer
Vapor HyperLite 2
Pick the Vapor if you live off quick snap and wrist shots in tight and want the puck off your blade fast. Its low kick point loads near the bottom of the shaft for the quickest release of the two.

JetSpeed FT8 Pro
Pick the JetSpeed if you take a mix of shot types and do not want to commit fully to a quick-release stick. The hybrid kick gives you a fast release without giving up much on a loaded one-timer or slap shot.
