AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed is lighter, cheaper, and gives you two curve choices, while the True is a stripped-down pro-spec build locked to one flex and curve that only works if you're a strong shooter. The JetSpeed plays more forgiving across different shot types, but the True gives you authentic NHL gear if you want that specific mid-kick platform.
