AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout and the HZRDUS 7X5 are both 400g low-kick elite sticks, but the HZRDUS gives you way more flex options and a more proven carbon construction, while the Blackout is way more affordable in CAD and carries the Pavel Barber signature appeal. The bigger practical difference is flex selection: the HZRDUS covers nearly every player type, the Blackout only comes in 50 or 70.

Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout (Extra Lite) - Pavel Barber LE

  • You want a budget-friendly elite stick and CA$180 fits your wallet better
  • You shoot with a 50 or 70 flex and do not need anything in between
  • You prefer the P28 or W28 curve and want a lighter price tag to match

Pick the True HZRDUS 7X5

  • You need a specific flex like 65, 75, 85, or 95 that the Blackout simply does not offer
  • You want a proven unidirectional carbon build with documented blade technology
  • You shoot with a T92 curve, which the Blackout does not carry at all
