At a glance
The Tracer is noticeably lighter and offers a much wider curve selection, but the Trigger 9 is way more affordable and delivers a faster low-kick release for forwards who shoot in stride. If you shoot mostly wrist shots and snap shots off the rush, the kick point difference will matter more than the 10g weight gap.
