Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype

  • You want a pro-grade lightweight stick without spending $400
  • You need more curve options to match your current pattern
  • A hybrid kick point works better for your shooting style than a pure low kick

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Senior

  • You are a True loyalist already comfortable with T-series blade patterns
  • You want a true low kick point and a double concave shaft for maximum puck feedback
  • You shoot and release at high volume and want the SRT4 blade holding up to that demand
