AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Bauer Proto2 is a premium mid-kick stick that's noticeably lighter and built with high-end materials, but costs nearly three times as much. The HockeyStickMan is way more affordable and still gives you a mid-kick platform, though you're getting 20 grams more weight and older carbon construction in return.
