AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $70 CAD and gives you real flexibility with eight blade curves to find your preference, but it's a junior stick for younger players. The HZRDUS 9X4 is an NHL pro-spec build that costs $180 USD and locks you into one specific flex and curve, but you get genuine equipment that fast shooters rely on at the highest level.
