AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Bauer is 40 bucks cheaper with way more flex and curve options if you need choices, but the True is a genuine pro-spec stick built to one fixed 105 flex that NHL guys actually use. Pick the Bauer if you're still figuring out what works for you, pick the True if you already know you want mid-kick and can handle stiff flex.
