At a glance
The Nexus Sync gives you way more curve options, noticeably better puck feel, and a full range of flexes, but you're paying $340 for it. The Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is way more affordable at $160 and gives you a genuine NHL-spec mid-kick build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve.
