Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Red Lite - Intermediate

  • You want to try multiple curves before committing to one pattern
  • Budget matters and you need a lighter stick that won't break the bank
  • You shoot in either 50 or 60 flex and want to test both

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Filip Forsberg

  • You already know you like TC4 curves and low-kick Hzrdus feel from experience
  • You're a stronger shooter who can handle pro-spec stiffness at 105 flex
  • You want the exact NHL-spec build Filip Forsberg uses, not a consumer version
