AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed FT860 is way more affordable at $110 and gives you multiple flex options and a versatile hybrid kick, but you're paying for it with a noticeably heavier stick at 484g. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro-spec stick built to NHL specs with a mid-kick design, but it's locked into one flex (95), one curve (T92 Mod), costs $50 more, and demands a stronger player to use it properly.
