At a glance

The HockeyStickMan is way more affordable and gives you two flex options and two curve choices to dial in your shot, while the True is a single pro-spec build that costs about the same or more and locks you into one flex and one curve. The HockeyStickMan is also noticeably lighter if weight matters to your game.
