Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype

  • You want to try multiple flex options (70, 80, 90) to find what actually works for your shot
  • You value a noticeably lighter stick that won't fatigue your arms over a full game
  • You want a hybrid kick that balances quick release with loading power
  • Budget matters and you want pro-level carbon without breaking the bank

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Ryan Johansen

  • You're a strong shooter who knows you need a 100-flex and won't use anything softer
  • You want the exact same build NHL players use instead of a consumer version
  • You've already dialed in the TC2 curve and don't need other blade options
  • Low-kick geometry is non-negotiable for your release
