The HZRDUS 9X4 is a locked-in pro stock build with a fast low-kick release, while the Novium 2 gives you a much wider curve selection, a mid kick for heavier shots, and a known weight at $30 less. Players will notice the Novium 2 offers way more fitting options, but the HZRDUS delivers a genuine NHL-spec feel if that one setup happens to fit you.
