At a glance
The Karlsson is a stiffer 85 flex built for players with serious upper body strength, while the Johansen is a 100 flex that's noticeably more forgiving for average-to-strong shooters. Both have the same low-kick release and NHL-level construction, so your choice comes down to whether you need the extra stiffness or want easier loading.
