AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a full junior stick with three flex options and two curves to grow into, while the True HZRDUS is a fixed pro-stock one-trick pony that's cheaper upfront but locks you into one setup. Pick the Proto2 if you want flexibility and room to develop, pick the True if you want that exact NHL low-kick feel right now and don't need options.
