Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock C. Tierney

  • You want a genuine NHL-spec mid-kick stick for less money
  • You already know you shoot well off a mid kick and like the T88 curve

Pick the True HZRDUS 7X5

  • You need a specific flex or are between sizes, since it covers 50 through 95
  • You want a low kick stick for faster wrist shots and snap shots
  • Puck feel and blade accuracy matter more to you than kick point power
