AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a junior stick built for growing players with adjustable flex options and a mid kick that rewards technique, while the True HZRDUS is a pro stock stick locked into one stiff flex and low kick for players who already know what they want and have the strength to use it. The Proto2 costs nearly double but gives you three flex choices and room to grow, whereas the True HZRDUS is cheaper but takes a gamble on fit and assumes you're strong enough for NHL-level stiffness.
