Pick the True HZRDUS 5X5

  • You want a noticeably lighter stick with better puck feel from the PASS foam core and modern carbon construction
  • You need flexibility in curve selection with T28 and T92 patterns across six flex options
  • You're willing to spend ten bucks more for a stick that performs like something from a higher price tier
