At a glance

The Pro Blackout Gold is way more affordable and gives you five curve options to find what suits your shot, while the True Catalyst locks you into one mid-kick build at a stiffer pro-spec flex. You're choosing between budget flexibility versus paying more for a genuine NHL stick pattern that demands a stronger shot.
