AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout costs a quarter of the price and gives you five curve options to find what works for you, but weighs 500g which is noticeably heavier. The True HZRDUS is a genuine NHL-spec stick locked into one flex and curve, built for shooters who already know exactly what they want and have the strength to handle stiffer equipment.
