The CCM Ribcor Trigger 9 is built for quick-release shooting with its low kick point, while the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout is a junior stick designed for developing players with mid-kick characteristics.
Verdict: Pick the CCM Ribcor Trigger 9 if you're an adult forward who prioritizes quick wrist shots and snap shots in tight spaces. Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout if you're a junior player (typically under 12-14 years old) who needs appropriate flex ratings and wants a performance stick at a lower price point. These sticks target completely different age groups and playing styles.
