SOYUZ · Brand comparison
Playing Bauer or CCM today and wondering where you land with SOYUZ? This overview maps every SOYUZ model to the familiar Bauer, CCM, Warrior and True lines – by kick point, flex range and weight. Not copies, but independent constructions in the same kick-point class.
* No exact counterpart – ARCANE and RAPID are cut even more aggressively; the Vapor Flylite and Ribcor Trigger are the closest models.
Alternative to the Bauer Vapor & CCM Ribcor (Ultra-Low & Low kick)
Coming from the Bauer Vapor Flylite or CCM Ribcor Trigger, you're after a fast release close to the blade. At SOYUZ that's the Ultra-Low/Low family: the ARCANE (365 g, flex F65–F105) with AEROX taper and T1100 carbon is the most aggressive model, the RAPID is the pick for skill players with lots of passing and turns, and the AURORA (F65–F90) is the most accessible all-rounder for every age group. The Warrior Covert and True HZRDUS belong to this low-kick family as well.
Alternative to the CCM JetSpeed & Bauer Pulse (hybrid kick)
The HIT GRIT (375 g, F65–F105) sits very close to the CCM JetSpeed: hybrid kick point, versatile and reactive. Players on the Bauer Pulse or the Warrior Alpha (hybrid flex) will feel at home here too.
Alternative to the CCM Tacks (mid kick)
The MASTER FRST (375 g, F65–F105) loads through the middle of the shaft like the CCM Tacks – maximum energy for hard slap shots from the blue line. The Warrior Novium and True Catalyst play in the same mid-kick class.
Alternative to the Bauer Nexus (high kick)
The CLASSIC SPR (375 g, F65–F105) is the counterpart to the Bauer Nexus: the whole shaft loads – classic feel for players who really work their stick.
And the STD PRO?
The STD PRO (400 g, F65–F95) has no direct counterpart at Bauer or CCM: low kick, but a sturdier build – the price-conscious entry into the custom programme with full production quality.
What the comparison is based on
We compare kick-point class, flex range, weight and feel. SOYUZ sticks are not copies: the ARCHRING dual-loop geometry, AEROX taper (patent pending) and T1100 aerospace carbon are in-house developments. The comparison simply helps you find your familiar profile in the SOYUZ line-up – factory-direct and fully configurable.

Frequently asked questions
Which SOYUZ stick corresponds to the Bauer Vapor?

Which SOYUZ corresponds to the CCM JetSpeed?
The HIT GRIT: hybrid kick point, very close to the JetSpeed. Players on the Bauer Pulse will find their familiar profile here as well.
Are SOYUZ sticks copies of Bauer or CCM?
No. SOYUZ develops its own constructions (ARCHRING dual-loop, AEROX taper, T1100 carbon). The comparison is purely for orientation when switching.
Which SOYUZ corresponds to the Warrior Covert or True HZRDUS?
Both are low-kick sticks – at SOYUZ that's the ARCANE, RAPID and AURORA. The Warrior Alpha (hybrid) maps to the HIT GRIT, while the Warrior Novium and True Catalyst (mid kick) map to the MASTER FRST.
