AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you five curve options to dial in your shot, but it's also noticeably heavier at 365g. The Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro-spec stick with a mid-kick that NHL players actually use, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no wiggle room.
