What is the closest alternative to the original RS?
I went back to my old Bauer Nexus 1000 and just did not have the same feel. Likely due to the mid kick point vs lower on the RS, but the puck feel was also clearly different despite the fact back in the day the 1000 was also a top end stick.
Clearly my gear knowledge is several years/generations outdated.

Current gen Bauer Vapor will be the closest.
Easton was purchased by Bauer. Even though Easton is no longer, some of their technology has transitioned into Bauer product. The current gen Vapor line of sticks will feature an elliptical taper like the one found on the RS.
What spec do you use? There's still RS and RS II sticks floating around online.
