AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is $10 cheaper, significantly lighter at 350g, and gives you real flexibility with three flex options and nine curve choices. The True is a locked-in NHL pro stock stick with only a 100 flex and one curve, but you're getting genuine game-day equipment that Taylor Hall actually used.

Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype

  • You want to dial in your exact flex and curve preference instead of being forced into one setup
  • You prioritize a noticeably lighter stick that won't tire your arms over a long season
  • You're still developing your shot and need options to find what works best for you

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Taylor Hall

  • You already know you shoot hard and want a low-kick release like NHL players use
  • You prefer taking what the pros use rather than experimenting with different patterns
  • You don't mind committing to a stiffer flex and can handle a heavier stick
