Just curious to see how these sticks are holding up from people that actually use em. I tend to take online reviews with a grain of salt but breakage has Bauer getting slayed in the review department with bad reviews about their sticks not lasting more than weeks, maybe a couple of months tops. Anyone having issues with these holding up since Bauer decided to go lighten stuff up?

I've tried both, and in my opinion the 2N Pro blows the 2S out of the water.
2S Pro is pretty well balanced, but felt dead to me, both shooting and puck handling. The 2N Pro reminded me a lot of the first gen 1N sticks in how it shot, and the new blade is really nice. I ended up selling my 2S Pro so I can't comment on the durability, but the 2N Pro seems to be holding up pretty well for me.

It probably fell dead because of the jelly in the blade . I loved the NXG and even the MX3 shot very well But I think the supreme line is taken a dump. I had a couple 2N Pros and 10 games on one held up nicely but sold it. I think they are having breakage issues in the heel

I've got both. Actually really like the feel and shot out of the 2S, it feels so soft but with the right flex it snaps so nice. The 2N is great as well but I got it a bit too stiff and I can really tell the difference between the two. But I will say this, even with the 2N being a tad too stiff the shot is still incredible, it pops so nice and it just feels so accurate. I got the 2S about a month ago so can't comment on the durability past that but haven't had any issues yet although I use one stick one day and the other the next. The 2N has had no issues and still feels like its kept its stiffness since I got it in November or so. Both great sticks and to be honest I don't think you can really go wrong with either

I prefer the 2S as well - puck seems to just stick to the dampened blade but that’s a matter of preference as I’m more of a disher than a shooter.
Both are solid sticks and I haven’t experienced any breakage issues after putting both through the ringer.

I used to love how shots with an NXG or MX3 just punched hard. The flex feedback was excellent too, how you could grab the puck and it flew. I don’t mind soft blades just don’t like dead ones. Always worried the flex is wrong in a supreme line stick as they may be rated one thing and harder to load or stiffer playing. My 2N Pros were 82s and in a lot of ways perfect. Did feel like I melted through slap shots at times though.
