AI Breakdown

At a glance

The CCM is an elite retail stick with cutting-edge blade tech and the slick white finish, but you're paying $80 more for it. The True is a genuine pro-stock build at a much friendlier price that gives you the exact same mid-kick platform an NHL player uses, just locked into one flex and curve.
