HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout (Extra Lite) - Intermediate vs HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype - Junior

The Intermediate stick targets older/bigger players with its low kick point for quick releases, while the Junior stick uses a hybrid kick point for developing players learning different shot techniques.

Verdict: Pick Stick 1 (Intermediate) if you're a teen/adult player who wants quick release shots and can handle higher flex ratings. Pick Stick 2 (Junior) if you're a younger player (typically 7-12 years old) who needs lighter weight, lower flex, and wants to develop versatile shooting skills with the hybrid kick point. The Junior actually offers better carbon construction at a lower price point.
