At a glance
The Ribcor Trigger 9 is way more affordable and gives you flexibility across six flex options and two curves, while the True Catalyst 9X3 is a fixed NHL-spec build locked into one stiff flex and mid-kick design. The Ribcor suits snap shot guys who want options to dial in their setup, but the True is a genuine pro pattern if you shoot hard and want that mid-kick power release.
