AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 is a premium stick with all the adjustability you could want, but you'll pay $170 more and commit to learning a hybrid kick point. The Sherwood is way more affordable and gives you a genuine NHL-spec stick locked into one flex, which works great if you don't need options.
