AI Breakdown

At a glance

The HockeyStickMan is way more affordable and gives you flexibility to dial in your preferred curve and flex, while the True is a locked-in pro-spec stick built for one specific shot style. The HockeyStickMan is also noticeably lighter at 365g, making it easier to handle, though you're trading curve selection and pro-level specs for that price advantage.
