Pick the True HZRDUS 5X5

  • You need to dial in the right flex (50-95 range) and aren't locked into 90 flex
  • You want T28 or T92 curves and prefer having options
  • You care about mid-range pricing and warranty coverage
  • You're still dialing in your game and need a stick that adapts

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Ben Hutton

  • You're a strong shooter who handles 90 flex and know it works for you
  • You want the exact NHL pattern Ben Hutton uses and trust his setup
  • You prefer a stiffer, pro-spec layup that rewards harder releases
  • You're willing to sacrifice curve selection for authentic NHL construction
