AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 and gives you five curve options to dial in your shot, but it's noticeably heavier at 500g. The True HZRDUS 9X4 is a genuine NHL-spec stick that'll feel snappier and more responsive, but it costs $190, locks you into one curve, and demands a stronger shot to load properly.
