AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you five different curve options to find what suits your shot, while the True Catalyst is a genuine pro-spec stick locked into one specific NHL pattern and flex that costs more. Pick the Blackout if you're still figuring out your preferences, pick the Catalyst if you already know you want that exact Lindstrom curve and can handle 80 flex.
