Bauer Ag5nt Hockey Stick
Bauer's AG5NT hockey stick marks a significant departure from previous models in the Bauer lineup. Known for their Supreme line focused on power and Vapor line known for finesse, the AG5NT carves a new path prioritizing lightweight construction and a quick release. This top-of-the-line stick boasts the use of Boron, a lightweight and ultra-stiff material, throughout the shaft. This combination creates the lightest Bauer stick ever while also generating their quickest release for powerful and accurate shots. The AG5NT also features a Monocomp one-piece construction for a more consistent flex profile and a low kick point for maximizing energy transfer on shots.
Key features include:
| Boron Infused Construction | A lightweight and ultra-stiff material, to create their lightest and quickest releasing stick ever. |
| Low Kick Point | The flex point is located lower down in the shaft, closer to the blade. T |
| Monocomp One-Piece Construction | The shaft and blade are made from a single piece of composite material, providing a more consistent flex throughout the stick. |
| Blade Core Technology and Dual Core Bridge | These work together to increase blade recoil and pop with every hit of the puck. |
| Advanced Carbon Layering | Utilizes complex thinner and stronger layers of carbon to reduce the weight of the stick. |
| Asymmetrical TeXtreme Carbon Fiber | Helps to maximize energy transfer throughout the sticks for efficient, powerful shots. |

Progression of the Bauer Ag5nt
The Bauer AG5NT hockey stick is preceded in its Innovation series by the Bauer Sling. The AG5NT features a few upgrades over its predecessor:
- Reduced weight: Weighing only 335 grams, the AG5NT is Bauer’s lightest stick yet, creating a nimble stick that makes the fastest releases of Bauer’s lineup.
- Boron: The AG5NT is the first stick to utilize boron fibers in its construction, creating a stronger and stiffer stick than ever before while also reducing weight and maintaining puck feel.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| You can immediately notice a harder more powerful shot, I love how light the Ag5nt is. |
| All my shots are hitting the net, great stick, very light, with great handle. |
| I love the new grip, makes it easier to hold onto when gloves or grips get wet. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Two broken sticks in two games. Both breaks are in the same spot,. |
| Cracks are so bad that its going to snap in the middle very soon. |
| This stick does not hold up to the hype. Maybe it's just because I am a beginner, but it's hard to play. |
The Ag5nt is a high-end, lightweight stick with a quick release. It's made with a new material called BORON, which is said to be lighter and stronger than carbon fiber. If you're a player who relies on a lot of slap shots, you should choose a stick with a higher flex rating. The lower flex rating of the Ag5nt is better for players focusing on quick releases and dekes.
