AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a junior stick built for younger players who want mid-kick explosiveness and curve options, while the Trigger 7 is a pro-spec stick designed for stronger, more experienced shooters locked into one NHL-pattern curve. The Proto2 costs less and lets you pick your flex and blade pattern, but the Trigger 7 gives you genuine pro-level construction if you fit its fixed 95-flex setup.
