AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 is a premium all-around stick with multiple flex options and a hybrid kick point that blends mid and low kick feel, while the Catalyst 9X3 is a way more affordable pro stock stick locked into one fixed flex and mid kick. The Pulse gives you customization and versatility, but the Catalyst gets you genuine NHL specs at a fraction of the price if you know exactly what you want.
