Pick the CCM Ribcor 96K

  • You need flex options (55-85) to match your actual strength
  • You want to choose between P28 and P29 curves instead of being locked in
  • You prefer a lighter stick at 450g for faster hand speed
  • You're not a pure power shooter and want easier load and release

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Ben Hutton

  • You shoot hard enough to handle a stiff 90-flex without deflection
  • You specifically want the T92 Mod curve that Ben Hutton uses
  • You want genuine NHL-spec layup and construction
  • You're willing to commit to one setup that won't change
