Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Red Lite - Intermediate

  • You want to experiment with different curves without spending big money
  • You need a lighter stick (365g is noticeably easier to handle)
  • You're still figuring out your flex preference between 50 and 60
  • Budget matters and you're not ready to commit to one setup

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Iginla

  • You already know you want the Iginla curve and low-kick Hzrdus feel
  • You're a stronger player who can handle pro-spec stiffness in a 70 flex
  • You want the exact stick NHL players use, not a budget alternative
  • You prefer one dialed setup over having multiple options to choose from
