AI Breakdown

At a glance

The HockeyStickMan is way more affordable and gives you flexibility to find your ideal curve and flex, while the True is a pro-spec stick locked into one NHL pattern and 105 flex that costs similar money with less customization. Budget wins on price and options, but True gives you genuine NHL gear if you know you want that low-kick Forsberg curve.
