At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably more expensive but gives you way more curve and flex options, plus a known weight spec and retail warranty support. The Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is way more affordable and delivers a genuine NHL-spec build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no flexibility on fit.
