At a glance
The Proto2 is a brand new retail stick that's noticeably lighter and gives you four flex options plus four blade patterns to dial in your exact preference. The Catalyst is a pro stock model at less than half the price, but it's locked into one flex (85) and one curve (T28), so you're buying what an NHL player used without any customization.
