AI Breakdown

At a glance

The True Catalyst is way more affordable at $160 versus the CCM's $240, but you're locked into one flex and curve instead of choosing between two blade patterns. The CCM gives you customization and that elite mid-kick power feel, while the True delivers NHL-spec performance at a significant discount if the fixed 100-flex and T92 Mod curve work for you.
