dustybender60 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Went by the LHS and saw that Bauer’s released a new stick called the Protocol. Claims to have a P28G curve, appears to be a purple Bauer Shadow with Pentagrip and a new graphic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalls Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 From my sources, it's supposed to be released in a month or so. Not sure how it's in stores yet. There was a Bauer Proto-V line and this is the continuation of that. Bauer Shadow construction with modified toe basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I've seen these in person too. The curve on the toe is P31 /W33 +, like it kinda corkscrews. It's pretty strange. There's enough room under the toe for a puck if standing upright with the blade "flat". The purple looks pretty sick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Shadow stick with the PentaGrip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Softer flex too. It's a 77 flex. I have had one for a couple of weeks, will share info when the content ban is lifted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is their first Supreme based prototype stick for goalie, pretty exciting! too bad the Shadow stick just looks that good, if it’s between that or a second custom shadow, I’m going with the latter.

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Agent was a Vapor special release like the player stick, this is Supreme since there’s no goalie nexus, which is what the player proto is (maybe hence the name change). Graphics look pretty similar to the player proto though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Have one. Used it a couple of times, fire away... Overview: The stick features a new curve from Bauer – P28G optimized for playing the puck with a 77 flex profile The curve also has a new hybrid toe- square top, round bottom penta grip with spyne technology- a first from Bauer SR 24/25/26 Reg and FRT 609 grams (comparable to Shadow) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I've used Bauer P31 or CCM Crawford. Those are great if I can remember to shoot from the heel, but I prefer to load up at the toe and fire. Is the P28G a better curve for shooting from the toe? If you've used CCM EF3, how's the flex compared to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've used CCM EF3, how's the flex compared to that? Yes, this curve gets the job done and gets the puck up very quickly. The couple shots I took in the game were a quick chip passes and not like rimming it on a dump with a lot of time. I’ve never gotten the puck up so easily or cleanly. this is going to be much lighter than your eflex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 At $400 I'll wait on Pro Stock options or a lower price point, but the curve does interest me. Unfortunately, I've got 8 or 9 perfectly good sticks with some variant of the Bauer P31 on them, 2 of which are still totally unused. Makes it hard to justify buying new ones to the wife.

tgfoo Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I'd really like to see one in person. I'll be at the rink on Saturday, I'll check with the shop to see if they're getting any in. I'm not a huge fan of the P31, so I like Bauer is starting to give some other options at retail (like a P34 of the Mach/Shadow), even if this is just a limited edition stick.

P34 is still my favorite curve, but I think that is just the creature of habit thing. This P28G almost feels like a novelty. I think I would need a solid 12 skates to really have an opinion if this a game changer or just a fun curve for people obsessed with sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgfoo Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I'm a big fan of the P34 as well. Just figured people have been raving about the P28G so maybe I'd give it a try. Do you know what the difference between the P34 and their new CP31 is? I haven't been able to find any information on it. The P34 is supposed to be a price curve, so what's a CP31? Same curve with a rounded toe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ser33 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Do I understand correctly that the lower the number, the greater the bend of the hook? or am I wrong? can anyone tell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower the number of the flex, the easier it will bend when you shoot. The P# defines the pattern number. P31 is standard and probably used by 80% of retail goalie customers, P34 is my favorite Bauer curve, and P28G is like Ovi's transformed into a goalie curve. 77 Flex will be softer than 87 flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting from the toe seems to be my default, and this sounds like the perfect stick for me. However as an experiment its hard to justify almost $400, especially with how rough I am on my sticks (outdoor roller, indoor roller, ball hockey, ice and using it like a damn cane since I'm so slow these days lol).
