AI Breakdown

At a glance

The HZRDUS 5X5 gives you a much wider curve selection, known weight, and a full warranty, while the 9X4 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec build that locks you into one flex and one curve. If you want options and predictability, the 5X5 wins on paper; if you want authentic pro-layup feel and shoot 85 flex, the Bastien is worth the extra $10.

Pick the True HZRDUS 5X5

  • You want more than one curve option to match your shot
  • You prefer knowing exactly what you're getting (416g, documented specs, 30-day warranty)
  • You're not a strong enough shooter to max out a pro-spec 85 flex

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Dave Bastien

  • You already know you shoot 85 flex and like the Mid Max pattern
  • You want a genuine pro-layup stick without paying full retail custom pricing
  • You prioritize authentic NHL construction over flexibility in spec options
