Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT880

  • You want to try different curves (P28 or P29) without committing to one pattern
  • You prefer a hybrid kick point that works for wrist shots, snaps, and one-timers equally well
  • You're shopping on a tighter budget and value getting a lighter stick at a good price point

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Ryan Mcleod

  • You shoot hard and want that mid-kick pop that NHL players use for pure shot velocity
  • You already know your curve and flex preference and don't need options
  • You want the exact same build McLeod uses instead of a consumer retail stick
