The Proto2 gives you a mid-kick with multiple flex and curve options for junior players still dialing in their shot, while the True is a fixed low-kick pro stock build that demands a stronger, more committed shooter. Proto2 costs more but fits different skill levels; True is cheaper and locked into one specific setup like what NHL players use.
