Pick the CCM Ribcor Maxx SE

  • You're still dialing in your ideal curve and need 4 blade patterns to choose from
  • You want a lighter stick (423g confirmed) for faster wrist shots and hands
  • You prefer multiple flex options from one brand rather than committing to one spec
  • You value the grip texture and premium feel at this price point

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Dave Bastien

  • You already know you want a pro-spec Hzrdus low-kick feel and NHL-level stiffness
  • You shoot harder and stronger, so pro-spec flex actually benefits you
  • You want the exact same build NHL players use rather than a consumer version
  • You don't need curve selection and prefer one dialed-in option
