AI Breakdown

At a glance

The TaggsHockey is a lightweight custom build you order to your exact specs, while the True is a fixed pro-stock stick locked into one flex and curve. TaggsHockey gives you way more control over your setup for $25 more, but True gives you an authentic NHL mid-kick pattern if you want that specific build and don't care about customization.

  • You want a proven NHL pattern and don't need to tinker with specs
