At a glance

The JetSpeed FT8 is way more affordable and gives you multiple flex options and curve choices, while the True Catalyst is a single pro-spec build at an elite stiffness that only works if you're a strong shooter. The JetSpeed is the stick for most players; the Catalyst is a specialized tool built for one person's NHL specs.

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8

  • You need flexibility choosing your flex (40 to 85 range) because you're still figuring out what works for you
  • You want options between two blade curves instead of locked into one pattern
  • You're spending your own money and want real value at this price point
  • You prefer a hybrid kick that handles both slap and snap shots reasonably well

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock G. Brisebois

  • You're a legitimately strong shooter who can handle 100 flex without choking your shot
  • You want the exact mid-kick specs that work for a current NHL player
  • You know you like the T92 Mod curve and don't need options
  • You found this at a good price and it matches your specific build needs
