AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Trigger 9 is noticeably lighter at 370g versus 400g and offers a much wider curve selection if you play in Canada where CAD pricing matters. The HZRDUS 7X5 brings elite-grade carbon construction and a more flexible range of stiffness options, but you are paying for materials over weight savings.
