AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Bauer Vapor FlyLite 2025 is a lightweight wrist shot specialist that costs almost three times as much but gives you multiple flex and curve options to dial in your game. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a stripped-down pro stock stick that's way more affordable and built around a mid-kick for shot power, but you get one fixed flex and curve with no customization.
