AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 350g and gives you way more curve and flex options, but costs $20 more and locks you into a hybrid kick point. The Catalyst is a genuine pro stock stick that's $20 cheaper and built exactly like what NHL players use, but you get one fixed flex and one curve only.
