AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse gives you way more curve and flex options, a hybrid kick point, and a premium build at roughly double the price. The Karlsson pro stock is much more affordable and delivers a true NHL low-kick feel, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no wiggle room.

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Erik Karlsson

  • You already know the TC2 Mod curve works for you and shoot 85 flex

  • You're a stronger shooter focused purely on a fast, clean release and don't need options
