AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FT8 Long gives you way more curve and flex options plus an extended 63-inch shaft, while the Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is much more affordable and comes with a genuine NHL-spec mid-kick build. If you need flexibility in setup choices, the FT8 Long wins; if you want pro-quality construction on a budget, the Catalyst is hard to beat.

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Long 63"

  • You are taller and need that extra inch of length
  • You want to choose your own flex and blade pattern from multiple options
  • You prefer a hybrid kick that splits the difference between quick release and shot power

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Tomas Lavoie

  • You are on a tighter budget and still want a pro-spec stick
  • You already know you like a mid-kick for loading up heavy shots
  • You shoot 105 flex and like the TC4 New pattern, because this is built exactly around that setup
