At a glance

The JetSpeed FT8 Pro is a ultralight youth stick with elite tech and multiple curve options, but costs $60 more and only comes in soft flexes. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine NHL pro-stock stick that's way more affordable, though it's locked into one stiff flex and one curve pattern.
