The Sherwood has a hybrid kick that sits between mid and low for a more balanced feel, while the True has a pure mid kick that's built more aggressively for shot power. The True is $60 cheaper and flexes at 110 versus the Sherwood's 83, so it's notably softer and better for players without elite strength.
