The Nexus E5 Pro looks to offer some of Bauer’s most elite-level features to up your game to the next level. The second price point comes in at just 390g and is equipped with an ER Spine, a Hexcel carbon fibre spread tow weave, and a Dualcell bridge core.
Stick Flex Profile
The Nexus line is officially taking the full mid kick spot of Bauer hockey sticks, which they previously shared with Supreme. Mid kick is a solid stick for players who often find themselves doing just a bit of everything during the game. The Nexus E5 Pro is ideal for those who want both big shots and a reliable release. Mid kick is made to be versatile in all aspects on the ice.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
A big contributor to the overall weight reduction is the new use of a Hexcel carbon spread tow weave at this price point. This weave technique is incredibly strong and lightweight, keeping the stick at 390g at the Senior level compared to the 3N Pro at 420g. This weave has been applied to both the shaft and the blade.
For this iteration of Nexus sticks, Bauer has elected to include their ER spine technology across all levels, from pro to recreational. This is because the line emphasizes control and power, and the ER spine—a hexagonal shaft geometry—has always been a major contributor to that characteristic at the highest level. Bauer’s commitment to enhancing the play of all players across all levels has made the inclusion of this tech natural into the new Nexus line.
Blade Construction
In addition to the Hexcel carbon in the blade, the stick also now uses Bauer’s Dualcell bridge core technology. This tech involves dual-density foams in the core, with softer foam on the bottom and lighter foam on the top. The setup makes it easier to handle while enhancing the overall feel of the stick as you play.
Graphics
The E5 Pro sticks to the classic black and blue of the Nexus line, with the addition of copper accents near the top with the Nexus and E5 Pro logos. Over the bottom half of the shaft, the carbon fibre weave is visible.
Grip
The E5 Pro uses a soft gloss grip, which works well with the ER Spine to balance control and freedom of movement for your hand.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Bauer Nexus E5 Pro Intermediate Hockey Stick is available in the following blade patterns: P88, P92, and P28.
P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
P92 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. P92M is very similar to the P92, but it is just a bit taller. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
