AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor Trigger 9 is way more affordable and gives you real options in flex and curve, but you're getting a mid-tier stick. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro stock build with the mid kick that works for power shots, but you're locked into one stiff flex and paying more for NHL spec.
