AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Bauer is 40 bucks cheaper, noticeably lighter at 400g, and gives you two curve options to dial in your shot. The True is a legit pro-spec stick with a mid-kick that generates more power, but you're locked into one flex and one curve, and you'll need a stronger shot to take advantage of the stiffer build.
