At a glance

The HockeyStickMan is way more affordable and gives you flexibility to pick your flex and curve, while the True is a pro-spec single-build stick designed for one specific playing style. The HockeyStickMan costs about half as much and weighs less, but the True locks you into an 80-flex low-kick setup that mimics what NHL players use.
