AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse is noticeably lighter and offers a much wider curve selection, but the HZRDUS 7X5 is way more affordable at nearly half the price. The main trade-off is paying a premium for a hybrid kick point and lower weight versus saving serious money on a pure low-kick stick that still plays at an elite level.

Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You want a hybrid kick point that loads mid-shaft but releases low
  • You need access to Bauer curves like P88, P90TM, or P92
  • Shaving every gram matters and 55g lighter is noticeable to you

Pick the True HZRDUS 7X5

  • You shoot off a pure low kick and do not need anything fancy
  • Budget is a real factor and you want elite-grade carbon without the elite price tag
  • You already use a T28 or T92 curve and the limited selection covers you
