Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Long 63"

  • You're taller and want that extra 63-inch length without compromising on kick versatility
  • You prefer choosing between multiple flexes (75, 85, 95) and blade patterns to dial in your exact setup
  • You want a hybrid kick that works for both snap and wrist shots rather than specializing in one

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock K. Bellows

  • You're a stronger shooter who likes a straightforward mid-kick and don't need flex options to dial in
  • You want to save $70 and don't mind being locked into one specific flex and T28 pattern
  • You value having genuine NHL-spec construction and want exactly what the pros are using
