AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 Junior gives you way more flex and curve options at a higher price, while the Lindstrom Pro Stock is much more affordable but locks you into one flex and one curve. The biggest on-ice difference is kick point: mid kick on the Proto2 versus a low kick on the Lindstrom, which noticeably changes how your release feels.

  • You want a genuine pro stock build at a way more affordable price
  • You are comfortable committing to the T28 curve and do not need other options
