AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a junior-focused stick with a mid kick that helps younger players generate power on their shots, while the HZRDUS is a pro stock stick with a low kick built for faster releases and stronger players. The Proto2 gives you flexibility in flex ratings and two blade options at a reasonable price, but the HZRDUS is cheaper and comes straight from NHL specs if you want that exact pro build.
