As a huge fan of the One95 (as I am sure many of you are), I haven't been impressed by many of Bauer's sticks since then; most seemed just average. Curious if anyone really likes the 2n Pro, 2s, etc...any of their latest sticks really solid?

I’m really tempted to get a 70 flex 2NPro, I’ve heard many good things about that stick, especially the new blade construction.

The ADV sucked, the 1N was nice but played stiffer than advertised so I didn’t really have a good time with it being such a puny guy. But it wasn’t bad per se.

Custom everything.

I just got a retail 2N Pro and I love it. Shot comes off so nice. Coming from a vapor stick it took a little getting used to the shaft since its a bit more square but aside from that its a good stick. I also think its a bit stiffer then advertised but I was coming from a too whippy vapor so a bit stiffer was what I wanted, but that definitely won't be for everyone

You are spot on about the square feeling. I just returned my 2N Pro because the blade lacked puck feel compared to my 1x lite. I'm so used to the extreme taper on the 1x twigs that I couldn't get used to the traditional box 2N Pro. However I must say that this 2N Pro is not as soft as the previous Nexus twig, which is a good thing. The 2N Pro blade just felt dead when you stickhandle compared to a vapor. I think the 2N Pro is the nicest looking bauer twig though. The blue chrome pops a lot. I wish I liked it enough to keep it...

So, would others agree that this play stiffer than the flex?

I would say so, I have an 87 and it feels more like a 95. Had I known better going in I would have gotten a 77 and it would have been perfect for me. Not the sticks fault, just me not doing my research as much as I should have. My issue is I was coming from a 77 flex vapor which felt way too whippy so I figured a higher flex and different build would solve the problem which it did, but too much for me now. If you are looking for a mid 80 flex feeling stick go 77 Nexus and that will be the sweet spot for sure

Wow, wonder if that is the consensus. 85 is usually perfect for me, so according to your statement, a 77 would feel like an 85.

I found the opposite problem. I bought a 2N pro in a 102 flex and it felt like a noodle. I was very impressed with the puck feel on it, but any action with the stick that required loading felt so soft. I felt that shooting suffered a lot due to this.
The store I bought it from didnt have my specs to replace it so I'm swapping it for a 2S pro in my specs. Hopefully the 2S pro plays stiffer

Weird, for me for sure the 87 flex was for sure stiffer then I would expect out of an 87
