AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor Trigger 9 gives you a low kick that fires shots faster off the rush, costs more upfront, and lets you pick your flex. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro-spec stick with a mid-kick for more shot power, costs less, but only comes in one stiff flex that demands a stronger shot.
