Bauer Nexus 8000 Review

Hi Beauties
Here is my review for the Bauer Nexus 8000
Video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCttzRczjwo

The Nexus 8000 had great pop on it for any shot, but I loved it for my snappers. The pucks just have a release that makes it effortless to shoot. With the Nexus line being for control, you'd expect a good feel for the puck on the blade. That is definitely what you get with the 8000. You can feel the puck no problem, making stickhandling with your head up way easier. The flex point of the stick felt awesome on my opinion because I liked that a got got pop on snappers and slappers but still a nice quick release on wristers, Bauer advertises that the new Nexus line will give you better accuracy, which I didn't believe until I tried. I was using a Toews curve, one I've never used before. I said to my Dad that if I hit 3 crossbars in 3 shots, I would believe it. First shot-crossbar, second shot- crossbar and third shot- crossbar.
Specs:

Nexus Tru-mid flex- For a quick, effortless release with natural power

eLASTech Technology- For more durability and longer pop life

teXtreme Technology- Carbon fiber that's 20% stronger and lighter than traditional 12k carbon fiber

Monocomp Technology- removing access material at the molding point for a more balanced stick

Pure Shot Blade Profile- Reduces twist on the blade for more accuracy

Overall the stick was really nice. It has a perfect flex point, amazing pop and good weight. If you are looking for down grades there is is the Nexus 7000, 6000, 4000 and 2000. I would recommend this stick to a person who wants good accuracy.

Thanks for reading! This blog wouldn't be possible without The Hockey Shop in Surrey, BC. So big thanks to them.
