CURRENT EVIDENCE

Why we believe it

pro stock listing

Makar Nexus 1N dressed as Tracer

SidelineSwap

Player-attributed listing explicitly describes Nexus 1N dressed as Tracer; supports current-graphic hidden-build conclusion.

physical code

Makar coded 1N / Sync / P88 / 95

SidelineSwap

Listing says sticks are coded Nexus 1N and specifies P88/95; useful physical-code corroboration.

Current visible graphics — Bauer Nexus Tracer

GearGeek · source/evidence date 2026-09-08

Detection-layer evidence only. GearGeek lists Nexus Tracer current and records the switch from Nexus Sync to Tracer on 2024-10-16.

pro stock listing

Makar long-running Nexus 1N build / P88 / 95–105 flex

HockeyStickMan · source/evidence date 2026-09-08

HockeyStickMan describes Makar as predominantly a Nexus 1N construction user throughout his NHL career, with a P88-style mid curve and typically 95–105 flex. Useful for a probable build, not enough alone for current Tracer-era verification.

Bauer code guide uses Makar Sync as Nexus 1N hidden-build example

HockeyStickMan · source/evidence date 2026-09-08

HockeyStickMan explicitly explains that its Makar example has Sync graphics but a Nexus 1N build. This is strong evidence of the persistent legacy construction pattern; a current Tracer stick code is still required for verification.

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.
