AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed gives you way more flexibility with two flex options and four curve choices, plus a hybrid kick that splits the difference between quick release and power. The True Catalyst is locked into one mid-kick setup at a pro-spec stiffness and costs less, but you're getting an actual NHL-built stick with no customization options.
