AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 2025 is a premium lightweight stick with mid-kick versatility and four flex choices, while the HZRDUS 9X4 is a stripped-down pro stock low-kick stick at half the price with only one flex and curve option. Pick the Bauer if you want options and a balanced mid-kick feel, or go True if you're a stronger shooter who locks in on one curve and wants an NHL-spec low-kick release.

Pick the Bauer Proto2

•You want to try different flexes (65, 70, 77, 87) and curves (P28, P88, P90TM, P92) to find your fit
•You prefer a mid-kick that handles snap shots, wrist shots, and slap shots equally well
•You value a lighter stick overall (345g is noticeably less than most mid-kicks)

•You're a strong player who shoots low-kick and want the fastest possible release
•Budget is your priority and you're comfortable with a one-option pro stock build
