AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you way more curve options to experiment with, while the True HZRDUS is a locked-in pro-spec stick built for one specific shot style. You're paying $50 more for the True stick to get an NHL-grade low-kick blade, but you lose all flexibility in flex rating and curve choice.
