AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is built for younger or lighter players who need adjustability and mid-kick snap, while the HZRDUS is a pro-spec weapon for stronger shooters wanting NHL-grade low-kick speed. Proto2 gives you three flex options and two curves to dial in your game; HZRDUS locks you into one stiff flex and one curve but costs less and comes straight from an NHL player's specs.
