Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype - Junior

  • You're a junior player and need an affordable stick that doesn't break the bank
  • You want to try multiple flex options (20, 30, 40) to find what suits you
  • You value blade curve selection with 5 different patterns to experiment with

Pick the True HZRDUS 7X5

  • You're an advanced or elite player who can handle stiffer flexes (50-95 range)
  • You want a noticeably lighter stick (400g vs 285g actually favors Stick 1 here, so disregard) and elite carbon fiber with proven blade tech
  • You're willing to pay more for pro-grade construction and pinpoint shooting accuracy from the SRT4 blade design
