AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 costs more than twice as much but gives you a lighter stick with multiple flex options and a hybrid kick that blends two release styles. The True HZRDUS 9X4 is way more affordable and delivers a proven low-kick NHL pattern, but you're locked into one flex and curve with no wiggle room.
