Bauer Ag5nt, full review, if you dare

As everyone and their dog releases their Ag5nt video, I thought I would take a few jabs (all for fun) and give some actual information on how the stick performs, who it would suit and what you should look for in its characteristics if its something you should spend over 400$ on. Durability will be touched on again soon. In the end, I hope I can help more than "its a good stick"

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I try and make these fun, informative and not boring, but i understand not everyone sits through a 20 min youtube from some random beer leaguer. I hope i addressed the aspects of this stick well enough to help you make a decision. In the end, its alot of $$ and I always say its best to gather all information and make the best decision for your personal situation. If I didnt answer it in the video ill respond to comments.

Great Review man, your absolutely right, you can’t complain about price when the performance is there. Hands down best stick out right now, i have 3 of these and probably won’t be using another stick for a very long time. Straight masterpiece. I will say though i am glad i work at a hockey store and get these 40% off. Regardless though i’d still be buying this stick p.s. - i 100% agree with you that this should have been released as the Hyperlite. I’ve already seen the new Hyperlite 2.0 stick coming out around April from our Bauer rep already and it’s still not going to be as lite and perfect as the Agent. The Hyperlite 2 will use the blade from the Sync (ACL 2.0) for better feel and be brought down to only 360 grams still 30 off the Agent and only 5g’s less than the current Sync. The agent will stand King for some time. I did have our Bauer rep leak some info to us though that an “Agent Sync” will be coming out this year as well so watch out for that towards the end of 2023

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Appreciate the feedback. That’s pretty sweet for a huge discount. I would be taking the agent all day for that price. Yeah the agent R is a mid kicker and can’t wait for that!

[@adamca96]

Great review man! I’ll have to give the 70 flex a go. Did not like the 77 at all in rapid shot but actually liked the pingier more ccm like blade feel

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Yeah 70 is next for me with this. I think they have an interesting approach with the super stiff load on a very low flex

[@aborum75]

Our team against another team yesterday (we won 12 - 3), and I managed to try a CCM FT5P of same specs as mine, however the handle of the stick was taped very rudimentary as opposed to the buttendz grip I'm using; the feel between the two sticks was very different as the buttendz grip stick felt significantly dampened. It's great to see Bauer finally relasing some new (and durable) technology that actually appeals to the market.

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

interesting, the tape changed the feel eh?

[@aborum75]

@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah, as I mentioned it's pretty obvious; however, I was surprised at just how much difference it made. What I'm after is even if the Ag5nt appears very stiff in your hands (rendering is too "steel-bar" for some players), you might actually be able to reap all the benefits of the stick and still get good comfort with a more padded grip.

[@bfish9700]

Great review, probably not for me. I actually decided to get another hockeystickman extra light blackout. It's $110, and it's just a really good stick (although I don't have any $300 player sticks). You called it on liking a slightly heavier damped stick.

Hi Justin, thanks for all the reviews you do, they have been super helpful. I wanted to ask for your opinion. I am able to find on sideline swap an agent p28 going for 180 shipped. Or a FT5 pro p90tm going for 165 shipped which of the two should I get? Thank so much for your time!

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Hey! That’s a tough one. Both Greta deals. If it was me went all day. Because my stick game is weight. And shot power. Agent owns that. Durability isn’t a huge concern. If I was saying which is a better overall buy for someone ft5. Good shot power, more durable overall more easy to use stick. You just have to decide which of the agent or ft5 aspects is right for you.

[@qmechanic]

Thanks for another great review. It sure helps to know what someone's experience is like with a > $400 stick before buying one. What was the puck feel like? Was it really pingy like the Hyperlite? I'm not sure if I saw you talk about that in the video.

@@pescadoquemado spoiler nah. I had it with me for agent, trigger and qr5 filming. Agent is best low kick performance with trigger close second. Save reasons why for review

[@bleve97]

I'm curious, perhaps I misunderstand how the flex rating works too ... I thought that flex would be independant of the construction method - ie: an 85 flex stick will be an 85. It might be lighter if it's boron/carbon, heavier if it's timber .. but the flex itself is a standard that gets measured. In the "olde dayes" timber sticks were measured once made, then the flex number was put on them. A 77 should be a 77, unless I don't understand it? Modern construction of the layups of the fibers means you can change where it flexes, but the absolute number should result in the same flex amount.

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

You would think so but no on this stick This stick is designed to be much stiffer and by doing so will recoils harder at lower flexes. You hear the term “plays like a 70 flex” or whatever in some forums this that example the 77 plays like a 90

[@aborum75]

@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews what's the flex rating worth if not conforming to a universally accepted standard? It's impossible to gauge what flex you're going for if it's like "oh, this is the AG5NT v3.0 so it's [your avg. flex rating minus 17 for boron but plus 8 for not being ultra sigmatex]". Not cool Bauer, not cool.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I put a lot into these so nice to get this feedback. I recently busted my trigger 7 pro but if I get a new one I will. In mean time they are both great sticks and pretty interchanable for how they perform. The trigger being a bit more durable.

@@JohnPlaysRoblox I’m planning a follow up vid on durability. The stick holds up well against shooting but impact is where it fails. So center and face offs no no and if it takes a direct puck hit on a shot will fail.

Curious on the follow up months after. Thinking about this or the FT6 pro. I’m more of a snap shot/pull drag shot player. But still love the clap bomb once in a while. What would you recommend? Also curious what specs you use? Great vids as always.

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

The ft6 is a better overall choice as it will last long is still very light and works for all shooting styles. The agent is still one of my favs but depending on the batch can break fast.

Should I buy this or the proto r stick I’m a defence and I really want a quick release with a good amount of balance on the stick so I can keep my head up and play also I want to ask you because I respect your opinion

As a defence men you will be doing a lot of checking and stick contact both of these aren’t ideal as they aren’t heavily durable. But if you aren’t concerned with the agent is a better stick than the proto. Shooting and release

Which one would be more durable because 2 of my teammates who both have a ag5nt have not broken theirs and my other teammate bough the proto r and he broke it second practice

[@heyguysitsmeagain9194]

Hey man, really appreciate your videos. They have been extremely helpful in researching sticks! Quick question: I'm potentially getting an Agent and am switching from a Nexus E5, 65 flex to this stick (cut down so maybe closer to 67-70). I find my shot with the E5 is a bit inconsistent and the shot feels sometimes feels a tad whippy (though feels pretty close to the right flex). Given the Agent is more stiff feeling, would it be a good idea to stick to 65 flex, or drop down to 55? I'm a 5'7 guy who weighs 140 pounds. Cheers and thanks!

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Based on what you said I would stick with your reg flex here. Will stiffen up a bit feel wise with the low kick and agent stiffness and should be solid. I feel like 55 is flex ten points different and wouldn’t want to drop that on a low kick by that much

[@heyguysitsmeagain9194]

playing style, definitely shooter / scorer type. shooting style is a lot of wrist shots, snap shots. lots of goals in and around the slot. i use a p92 curve. not a lot of shots where i'm lifting my stick off the ice to load. also with the nexus, I find the shot is inconsistent in that sometimes i'm able to get really good shots off and other times, I'll load up and just completely heel it, or it feels like the stored energy just sorta didn't translate. hope that helps!

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

@@heyguysitsmeagain9194 I mean the agent I found was great for all shots which is why I ranked it high. So should be good there. I only used a 70 though and found it to be perfect flex so going way down just will slowly start to effect the shot power. That 65 seems perfect

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Hey! Why non pro trigger if looking at the other top ends? Also would be good to know shooting style since two are low kick and one mid. I just reviewed the novium and unless you bomb slappers 90% of the time I would avoid. The agent is slightly a better stick IMO on the trigger pro but the trigger is more durable. If you want the non pro trigger you will have a very solid more durable stick. Unless you need huge weight reduction ( say me I have rheumatoid arthritis in my wrists ) then go agent but if you don’t the trigger 7 pro is best all round stick there. None of those sticks broke for me during testing which was surprising. But they are all top sticks so it’s just a risk in end that’s what that warranty is for!

Happy holiday to you :) to answer your question, i prefer the graphic on the trigger 7 vs 7pro and the extra 100$ reduction ( for a 20gram increase in weight) seems like the better deal for the trigger serie. Also, if i go trigger 7, i could also pick the alpha lx pro on the discount rack for about same price as 1 agent.

how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

I’m 5’9 205 pounds

@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews so get a 70 flex is what you’re saying 😅

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

@@NDRETTI I used a 77 and the 70. Both where excellent. I preferred the 77 just as all shots where good where with the 70 I found snappers and slappers started to lag. Wristers unreal though

[@UndrgrndSt3a1lh]

Out of curiosity, what curve are you using in this video?

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

P28

[@codyh7826]

Update on the ag5nt has it broken

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Sold my original to a team mate lasted a total of testing session and Bout 20 games. The agent cannot withstand impacts so centres defence not ideal. It’s a shooters stick not a grinder, checker or center that’s for sure!

[@codyh7826]

Update: my ag5nt has finally broken after 4 months of solid mens league and pickup by far the best stick I’ve ever used definitely buying one again gonna go custom tho as it’s well worth the money but I have a trigger 7pro and sync to fall back on depending on your upcoming reviews on the lx2 pro, ft6 pro, new ASV and the new rekker legend pro i may upgrade sooner then later, keep up the amazing work brother you’re doing the lords work running sticks threw actual shooting and stress testing unlike some of these other Channels who just say the sticks the best ever and toss muffins on net

[@Hockeylife_17]

I just got one is it worth it?

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

That’s what the video is for lol ;) it’s a great stick but as I explain in the video “it depends”

@@Hockeylife_17 it’s a much better hyperlite so you should like it

[@reeganbeardy2294]

Btw what Specs are using

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

I usually use 85 flex. p28. In this was 77. however I would even go 70 thing is stiff as hell

[@bleve97]

It's somewhat surprising that sticks haven't been using boron. Trek bicycles were using it in bottom brackets in the early 2000's,it's not new tech. That hockey stick blades are still essentially surfboards,with a core that breaks down quickly is ... dissapointing! Bring on the boron!

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Really? That is interesting and pretty awesome! Bauer does innovate just sometimes it’s a flop. So good to see something working

[@bleve97]

@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Yeah, the 2006 Madone 5.9 SSLx had boron fiber in the bottom bracket. They only used it, AFAIK, for that one model. Probably too expensive. But if you look at how a hockey blade is put together, you can't help but think there's got to be a better way. Foam sandwich construction? It's just going to break down over time as the foam crumbles.

[@bleve97]

(and the lighter the stick, the better, all else being equal)

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

@@bleve97 yeah never really thought about it but totally true once you do. Perhaps this will change now and companies will start some new tech changes

[@darcygawlik6866]

Used mine 3 times before the blade broke 😪

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Odd but I’ve heard a few have snapped so could have a few issues in terms of defects in some batches. Mine has been crazy solid

[@darcygawlik6866]

@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews The blade broke. I think a battle along the boards, someone may have stepped on it. Warranty was still good and received another today. That's it though. BAUER offers one stick replacement. So let's hope lol 🙏

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

@@darcygawlik6866 yeah wish they would up a warranty on these types of sticks since stuff like that can happen.

[@dismemberedlamb9104]

Bruh who the hell can afford 450 bucks. I love trying high end sticks and feeling the different sticks but I can’t see myself buying it until it’s 250 on sideline swap. Especially when there’s after Market sticks for 150-180 that practically do the same thing. It’s sad these cool and very interesting sticks come with such a price tag. Especially when you won’t know if you like it or not until you try it out. Seems very cool. I just can’t sacrifice the 450 bucks to potentially not like it.

yep addressed in the video. In the end these products exist much like other high end products exist in other aspects of life. I just hope to help you make a decision now.

Great stick but you'll need a new one every month

I never broke it but I have a feeling there was a bad batch out there. Mine was solid

man this stick's durability is trash, old guy player beer league once a week, lowest div, stick broke in 2 games

I think what I need to do for now on is post a short of my video idea and you guys give me pop culture references to put into the vids for laughs. Love this

[@shogekimura]

So how it holding up? I’ve had mine about 33 days and the blade just cracked in half so I submitted a claim hopefully they accept it 🥹

[@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews]

Hope so! Mine lasted until a slash broke it. So impact wise I think they don’t hold up against impacts. Shooting it help up. I sold the warranty replacement for other sticks to move onto

Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍can you imagine the guys at ccm thinking what are we going to do next …????? I would buy this stick but I love my jet speed 4 pro but I love the blade of the hyperlite 🤔🤔🤔🤔maybe I should wait for new hyperlite stick Anyway boomer that’s got ccm thinking now and me about what to buy RUDDSY 🥅🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒
