AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FT8 gives you way more flex and curve options plus a hybrid kick point, while the Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec mid-kick build at a noticeably lower price. The big catch with the Catalyst is you're locked into one flex and one curve, so fit matters a lot before you buy.
