AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a premium retail stick with mid-kick versatility and multiple flex choices, while the HZRDUS is a genuine NHL pro stock stick at a fraction of the price but locked into one fixed flex and low kick. The Proto2 costs more than double but gives you way more options; the HZRDUS is an absolute steal if you match that specific 105 flex and low-kick style.

Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You want to try different flexes and curves without buying multiple sticks
  • Mid kick feels better for your shot release than low kick does
  • You prefer a warranty and a stick built for retail buyers
  • You're willing to pay for lightweight performance and trusted specs

Pick the True HZRDUS PX Pro Stock Konnor Smith

  • You already know you shoot low-kick and you're strong enough for 105 flex
  • You want an actual NHL-used stick for under 150 bucks
  • You don't need the middle-ground kick point or curve options
  • You trust pro stock specs over retail retail marketing
