AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Trigger 7 Pro Stock is stiffer (95 flex vs 85) and costs almost twice as much, while the HZRDUS 9X4 gives you that same low-kick NHL release for $160 instead of $290. Both are one-trick ponies locked into a single curve and built for strong shooters, so the real question is whether you want the extra stiffness and are willing to pay for it.

Pick the CCM Trigger 7 Pro Stock Taylor Makar

  • You're a bigger, stronger player who needs the 95 flex to load and fire properly
  • You specifically want Makar's exact NHL build and don't mind the premium
  • You shoot a lot and want the most durable pro-spec layup available

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock V. Ponomarev

  • You're saving $130 and want a legitimate NHL low-kick stick anyway
  • You shoot with good technique and don't need the extra stiffness of a 95
  • You want proven Hzrdus performance at a price that makes sense for a practice stick
