The FT8 is built for competitive players wanting premium performance at a mid-tier price, while the FT860 targets beginners and recreational players prioritizing affordability and durability.
Key differences:
Verdict:
Pick the FT8 if you're a competitive rec or junior player who can feel the difference that 100g makes and wants better puck feel from the pure carbon construction. The investment pays off in performance.
Pick the FT860 if you're new to hockey, play casually, or need a durable stick that won't break the bank. The extra weight won't matter much when you're focused on fundamentals.
