Overview
The Bauer S26 PULSE 2 Junior 40 Flex Hockey Stick brings Bauerâs innovative PULSE technology to developing players in a responsive 40 flex configuration. Featuring Bauerâs unique FUSION Kick Point, the PULSE 2 is designed to load like a mid-kick and release like a low-kick, giving junior players a versatile shooting platform that combines powerful loading with a quick release.
Built with TeXtremeÂŽ Carbon Fiber, a refined boron formula, Hybrid Shaft Shape, and the PULSE 2 Blade Core, this junior stick combines lightweight performance with a balanced, controlled feel. The striking white graphic gives it a distinctive look on the ice, while the 40 flex model is available exclusively in P28 and P92 curves, allowing players to choose between a more aggressive shooting-focused pattern and a versatile all-around option.
Key Features
Junior 40 Flex
The 40 flex configuration is designed for junior players who need a responsive shaft they can properly activate during their shooting motion. A correctly matched flex helps players use the stick to generate shot power while continuing to develop proper shooting mechanics.
FUSION Kick Point
Two distinct energy zones in the shaft allow the PULSE 2 to load like a mid-kick and release like a low-kick. This dynamic design adapts to different shooting mechanics, combining powerful loading with a fast release.
TeXtremeÂŽ Carbon Fiber Construction
Advanced carbon materials help keep overall weight low while allowing energy to efficiently flow through the stick for responsive shooting performance.
Refined Boron Formula
Optimized boron placement helps the PULSE 2 feel even lighter while enhancing strength for supercharged performance. The refined design also contributes to a more balanced and resilient feel than its predecessor.
PULSE 2 Blade Core
Dual carbon bridges stiffen the blade for added pop and a quick puck release, while an aluminum layer helps reduce weight and improve strength.
Hybrid Shaft Shape
A square shaft with rounded corners provides a comfortable and controlled feel in the hands for stickhandling, passing, and shooting.
Raised Ink Grip
Tactile raised ink incorporated into the graphic helps players maintain their grip on the stick for confident control throughout every shift.
Striking White Graphic
The white PULSE 2 graphic gives the stick a clean, eye-catching appearance that stands out on the ice while showcasing Bauerâs distinctive PULSE design.
P28 & P92 Curve Options
The Bauer PULSE 2 Junior 40 Flex is available exclusively in P28 and P92, giving junior players two popular curve options depending on how they prefer to shoot and handle the puck.
P28 â Quick Releases & Toe Shooting
The P28 is the more aggressive shooting option of the two. Its open toe-focused profile is well suited for players who like to release shots from the toe, pull the puck into their body before shooting, and elevate the puck quickly.
It's a great option for players developing skills such as toe drags, quick snapshots, shooting in stride, and getting shots upstairs from around the net.
P28 is best suited for:
Quick-release shooters, toe shooters, players who like an open blade, and offensive players comfortable controlling puck elevation.
P92 â Versatile All-Around Performance
The P92 provides a more traditional, versatile option for junior players. Its popular mid-curve profile creates a balanced platform for shooting, passing, receiving passes, and puck handling.
For players who don't have a highly specialized shooting style or simply want one curve capable of doing everything well, the P92 is an excellent all-around choice.
P92 is best suited for:
All-around players, balanced shooters, playmakers, and players looking for predictable performance across passing, shooting, and puck control.
P28 vs. P92
Choose P28 if you prioritize quick snapshots, toe releases, toe drags, and getting the puck elevated quickly.
Choose P92 if you prioritize versatility, passing, puck handling, and a balanced shooting platform.
Fit & Feel
Responsive 40 Flex
The junior-specific 40 flex provides developing players with a shaft designed to activate during their shooting motion while offering more resistance than a softer 30 flex.
Dynamic Load & Rocket Release
The FUSION Kick Point provides what Bauer calls a Dynamic load that adapts to shooting mechanics, paired with a Rocket release designed to bring exceptional quickness to the shot.
Lightweight & Balanced
TeXtreme carbon, optimized boron placement, and the PULSE 2 Blade Core work together to create a lightweight, balanced stick designed for quick hands and confident puck control.

Just Hockey Pro Tip
With the PULSE 2 Junior 40 Flex, choosing between the two available curves comes down largely to playing and shooting style.
Go with the P28 for the player who already likes shooting from the toe, using toe drags, and getting snapshots upstairs quickly. Choose the P92 for the player looking for a more versatile curve that provides a balanced platform for shooting, passing, receiving passes, and stickhandling.
Either way, you get the same FUSION Kick Point, TeXtreme carbon construction, refined boron formula, PULSE 2 Blade Core, and standout white graphic.
