  • You like having grip texture for better hand feel during games

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock V. Ponomarev

  • You already know you want that specific True low-kick release and NHL blade curve
  • You're a stronger shooter who can handle pro-spec stiffness
  • You want the exact same build NHL players use without any compromise
  • You don't need curve selection because you're locked into one pattern
