  • •You need a specific curve like P28 or P90TM that the HZRDUS does not offer
  • •You are an elite-level forward and price is not the deciding factor

Pick the True HZRDUS 3X5

  • •You want a one-piece low-kick stick without spending $370 USD
  • •You are still growing into your game and want a wide flex range to match your strength
  • •Durability matters more to you than shaving grams off your stick weight
