BAUER Comp Stick Supreme TotalONE MX3 SE Griptac - Flex 52

The terms Strength and Power have become synonymous with Bauer's Supreme stick line. That's because the line has been engineered to boost energy output. They have a mid-kick flex profile, which means a stiffer lower shaft and softer middle, allowing you to easily load the stick. You'll also find the Supreme power taper throughout the line, which further stiffens that bottom portion of the shaft in such a way that reduces the likelihood of twisting and torquing. These two forces combine for powerful and explosive shots that are also precise and controlled. If you liked the NXG, it is the predecessor to the Bauer Supreme TotalOne MX3, with the addition of improvements that reduce overall blade weight, improve stick balance and durability. Bauer has an artillery of stick technology that they have unleashed on this stick. Monocomp technology is a single molding process which allows them to remove excess material, thus improving both performance consistency and balance. Their exclusive TeXtreme® technology is a strong carbon fiber that is 20% lighter than conventional carbon and is visibly recognizable throughout the stick because of its distinct large checker board pattern. The eLASTech resin system is not a visible technology, but still plays a very important role. In order to extend the life of the sticks "pop" and improve the overall durability of the stick, reinforcements have been added to the resin which can be found throughout the entire stick. These reinforcements simply reduce the spread of micro-fractures, which could otherwise spread into a catastrophic break. Also synonymous with the Supreme stick line is the square shaft shape with double-concave walls. The MX3 Tac-Spiral ridges on the underside of the shaft are slightly different than what you may have been used to on the NXG, however, they still provide added feel and security no matter what shot you are taking. As you transition through the Supreme power taper from the shaft to the blade, another important piece of visible technology is the Pure Shot Blade Profile. This is where the throat expands slightly as you move into the blade portion of the stick. This wider profile increases stiffness in that zone, which further reduces the likelihood of twisting and torquing of the blade - enhancing shot accuracy and blade control. Probably the biggest improvement from the NXG can be found in the blade core. The MX3 uses Power Sense 2 - a combination of Power Sense core, Aero Foam 3 and SENSE material that has been integrated into the full wrap of the blade. SENSE material can also be found in Bauer's Nexus 8000 and Vapor APX2 models and is excellent at absorbing energy, which translates to improved feel. It also reduces blade weight and probably most importantly increases blade durability. You will also find a bit of texture to the outer coating of the blade, which is an elite-level feature that provides improved puck feel with pass reception.
