AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 is a premium all-rounder that costs more but gives you a hybrid kick point and tons of customization, while the True HZRDUS is a stripped-down pro stock stick that's way more affordable but locked into one flex and curve. Pick based on your budget and whether you want options or pure NHL-spec simplicity.
