At a glance
The Proto2 Junior gives you three flex options, two blade patterns, and elite-tier materials for junior players, while the Lehkonen pro stock is way more affordable and built around a faster low-kick release but locks you into one flex and one curve. If you are a junior player still developing, the Proto2 offers more flexibility; if you want a genuine NHL-spec low-kick stick on a budget, the Rekker is hard to beat.
