The Trigger 7 Makar gives you a low kick for a quicker release but costs $70 more, while the Code Encrypt Tkachuk is way more affordable and offers a hybrid kick that works better for all-around play. If your shot style and flex needs match what each stick offers, the price gap and kick point difference are the real deciding factors here.
