AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed is a junior stick with a hybrid kick that splits the difference between quick release and power, while the Catalyst is a pro stock stick built for one specific flex with a mid kick that leans harder into shot power. The JetSpeed gives you three curve options to experiment with, but the Catalyst costs less and gives you a genuine NHL-spec build if you know you want that mid-kick feel and have the strength to handle 85 flex.
