AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection across two intermediate flex options, making it the more versatile pick for most players. The Catalyst 9X3 is a true pro stock build locked to one flex and one curve, so it only makes sense if that specific setup fits your game.
