Pick the CCM Trigger 7 Pro Stock Taylor Makar

  • You want that pure low-kick snap for quick releases like the NHL guys using this exact pattern
  • You shoot a lot and value the faster puck off the blade over raw distance
  • You're a stronger player who won't be intimidated by the 95 flex stiffness

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock C. Lindstrom

  • Your budget is tight and $130 savings matters to you
  • You prefer building power into your shot with a mid kick rather than pure speed
  • You want a genuine pro-spec stick from an NHL player without spending top dollar
  • You're comfortable with 80 flex, which is stiffer than most retail sticks but softer than the Trigger
