Bauer S26 GSX SR. Goal Stick

The Bauer S26 GSX Senior Goalie Stick is a dependable recreational composite option for adult goalies who want lower weight and less vibration than a traditional wood stick. Its Carbon Glass paddle uses Expancel foam to create a strong, controlled feel, while the reinforced 28-inch short shaft improves puckhandling access. The traditional square shoulder and P31 rounded toe keep the geometry familiar for goalies concentrating on stance, stick position and consistent rebound control.

Bauer S26 GSX senior 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?

This senior GSX is suited to adult recreational goalies, new players building their first full setup and experienced goaltenders who want an affordable practice or backup stick. Available paddle lengths from 24 inches through 27 inches make it possible to fit stance and blocker position rather than choosing by height alone. TGC carries multiple black, red and blue left-hand options, with selected full-right configurations.
