AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor Maxx SE gives you way more curve options and flex choices at basically the same price, while the True Catalyst is a fixed one-trick pro stock build that only works if you want exactly what an NHL player threw on the ice. The Ribcor is the customizable choice for most players, but the True is for purists who specifically want that mid-kick Catalyst feel.
