Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Blue Lite - Junior

  • You're a young player still developing your skills and don't need to spend big money yet

  • You're not committed to a specific blade curve and like having 5 patterns to experiment with

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4

  • You're an elite or pro-level player and the extra $280 gets you noticeably better shot release from the low kick point
  • You want the widest flex range available (20 to 95) to dial in exactly what you need
  • You prioritize blade technology and stability features that actually matter at high speed and high contact
