AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FlyLite gives you a much wider curve selection, a guaranteed low kick point, and full warranty support, but you'll pay more than double. 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.
