Bauer S26 Elite SR. Goal Stick

The Bauer S26 Elite Senior Goalie Stick delivers a light, familiar Vapor-style shape for adult goalies who want reliable composite performance without moving to a top-end price point. Its short shaft improves puckhandling leverage and reduces excess length above the blocker, while PentaGrip geometry helps the hand stay connected to the stick. Expancel paddle and blade construction manage weight, and the UD carbon shaft adds strength for frequent recreational or competitive use.

Bauer S26 Elite senior goalie stick features

• PentaGrip handle geometry: A five-sided grip fills the blocker hand more naturally and helps the shaft stay indexed during saves and puckhandling.
• Vapor-inspired short-shaft geometry: The shorter shaft and familiar paddle profile make it easier to control the blade when stopping rims or starting a breakout.
• Expancel paddle construction: Lightweight expanded foam reduces unnecessary mass while maintaining a dependable structure for everyday use.
• UD carbon shaft: Unidirectional carbon reinforcement improves durability through the shaft and helps manage vibration from shots and passes.
• Expancel blade core: The blade is tuned for a controlled puck feel without the weight of a higher-priced elite carbon build.
• P31 rounded-toe pattern: The traditional goalie curve supports clearing attempts, short passes and routine puck movement around the crease.

Who should choose this goalie stick?

Choose the senior Elite if you want a performance-level Bauer stick with full adult dimensions and a balanced, uncomplicated feel. It is well suited to beer-league, high-school and competitive goalies who value a lighter composite build but do not require the advanced bridge and carbon systems found in F50PRO, Fuse or FLYLITE. The TGC listing includes 24-inch through 27-inch P31 left-hand options in white and black.
