At a glance
The Ryan Johansen is stiffer (100 flex) with a TC2 curve, while the Ponomarev is noticeably more affordable at $30 cheaper and comes in a softer 85 flex with a Toe curve instead. Both share the same low-kick Hzrdus DNA, so your choice hinges on whether you need the extra stiffness and specific curve pattern of the Johansen or want to save money and get a more forgiving flex with the Ponomarev.
