Bauer Vapors have long since been a staple of mine ever since I first bought a Vapor V back in 2005. Sadly, the Vapor line and I aren't on the greatest terms since they axed the superb APX2. The 1X Lite went limp faster than an aging porn star who forgot to take Viagra, and the XE taper is just, well... weird. With that, I've switched to the Nexus line - a blissful Summer fling, so far - and I won't be looking back until the Vapor line gets another overhaul; at least until 2021 when the XE taper inevitably gets canned and Bauer learns to stop fixing what isn't broken.
My dream stick would combine the rounded corners and flex of the APX2 and the dampened blade from a Supreme. I know I can build pretty much that on the MyBauer website, but man... parting with $640 on sticks in one shot is tough to justify. $640 can buy a shit ton of pizza and probably enough booze to trick my mind into thinking ANY stick I have in my hands is good.

I am 100% addicted to the lax shape of the STX Surgeon line. I'm sure I could break myself, given time, but every time I pick up another brand, it feels like a broomstick or something. Not how a hockey stick "should" feel in my hand.
I've been using them for 2-3 years now, coming from the Bauer NXG, MX3, etc. line. Never played lacrosse, but as soon as I first touched one at Pernai's, I was hooked.
Plus, they put out 20% coupons here and there, making their top end stick around $135 USD. Hard to beat that. For me, at least.
