AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed FT860 is way more affordable and gives you curve options, but it's noticeably heavier and built for recreational players. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a pro-spec stick with a legit NHL mid-kick that'll feel snappier, but it costs more and locks you into one stiff flex and curve.
