At a glance
The HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter and gives you way more curve options, but costs $20 more and locks you into a hybrid kick. The True Catalyst 9X3 is cheaper, delivers a proven mid-kick Catalyst build straight from Nic Hague's NHL spec, but you get one flex and one curve only.
