CURRENT EVIDENCE

Why we believe it

pro stock listing

Recent Matthews BGP2B / Vapor ADV variant after Bauer return

SidelineSwap / NitroSports

Readable BGP2B/ADV on recent PAPI 34 Bauer FLYLITE stock supports ADV as the leading current-family hypothesis. Matthews has many documented construction variants, so this supports PROBABLE rather than a fixed-build claim.

Matthews Bauer-era spec check — current build still described as mystery

HockeyStickMan · source/evidence date 2026-03-09

HockeyStickMan reports the then-new FlyLite-era hidden build as unresolved, with Matthews appearing to remain around 82–87 flex and P86. This conflicts with recent P92 marketplace labels and is retained as an unresolved curve/spec question.

StickDNA rule: A graphics change is a trigger to investigate, not proof of a construction change. Source publication dates and actual on-ice usage dates are tracked separately; a recent article about an older physical stick does not make that stick current.
