At a glance
The Proto2 is a way more versatile retail stick with a wide curve selection and noticeably lighter build, while the HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock is way more affordable and gives you a genuine NHL low-kick setup if Hall's pattern and a stiff flex work for your game. The catch with the pro stock is you're locked into one flex and one curve with no flexibility.
