At a glance
The Pulse 2025 is a premium retail stick with tons of flex and curve options that costs significantly more, while the True is a stripped-down pro stock build at a fraction of the price with zero customization. You're paying extra for the Bauer's hybrid kick point and equipment flexibility, but the True gives you the exact stick an NHL player uses right now if you can handle a stiff 105 flex.
