At a glance
The AS-V Pro gives you way more flexibility with curve and flex options, plus a known weight, while the Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is noticeably more affordable and delivers genuine NHL-spec construction. If curve selection and fit matter to you, the Tacks wins; if you want a pro-stock deal and a 105 flex works for you, the Catalyst is hard to beat at that price.
