Pick the Bauer Vapor FlyLite

  • •You want the lightest possible stick for a faster release
  • •You need a specific curve like P28 or P90TM that the HZRDUS does not offer

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
