Bauer S26 GSX INT. Goal Stick

The Bauer S26 GSX Intermediate Goalie Stick offers a practical 23-inch paddle for growing goalies and smaller adults who want a balanced, durable stick. Carbon Glass materials support repeated impacts, while Expancel foam helps keep the paddle light and reduces harsh vibration. The 28-inch short shaft improves blade control during rim stops and passes, and the square shoulder gives the blocker hand a predictable place to settle in the ready stance.

Bauer S26 GSX intermediate goalie stick features

• Carbon Glass paddle: A blend of carbon and fibreglass creates a durable, approachable paddle for goalies developing their technique.
• Expancel foam core: Lightweight foam inside the paddle helps reduce vibration and keeps the stick easier to manage than traditional heavier constructions.
• Reinforced 28-inch short shaft: The shorter shaft improves playability around the crease while carbon-glass reinforcement supports everyday durability.
• Traditional square shoulder: Squared paddle shoulders provide a familiar blocker-hand reference point and a consistent grip during saves.
• P31 goalie curve: The established mid-curve pattern supports basic puckhandling, rim stops and outlet passes.
• Rounded blade toe: A rounded toe moves smoothly along the ice and is forgiving when younger or newer goalies collect loose pucks.

Who should choose this goalie stick?

Choose this model when junior sizing has become too small but a full senior stick still feels long, heavy or awkward. It is intended for recreational and developing competitive goalies who prioritize value, durability and a comfortable 23-inch paddle. TGC stock includes P31 left-hand options in black, red and blue, plus a black full-right configuration for goalies who catch with the right hand.
