Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype - Intermediate

  • You want maximum curve selection to dial in your exact preference
  • Budget is your main concern and CA$170 is notably cheaper than most competitors
  • You shoot a mix of wrist shots and slap shots and need a hybrid kick that does both reasonably well

Pick the Warrior Covert QR6

  • You're a pure release player who lives off quick snaps and wrist shots from anywhere
  • You want more flex options to fine-tune your feel (65 to 95 versus just 50 and 60)
  • You're confident in W28 or M28 curves and don't need six patterns to choose from
