AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 is a premium all-rounder stick with flexibility across flex options and blade patterns, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 is a stripped-down pro-spec stick built for one thing: fast releases at NHL stiffness. The Pulse costs more than double but gives you choices; the True is way cheaper if you're a strong shooter who wants exactly what Forsberg uses.
