At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you real flexibility with multiple curves and flexes, while the True Catalyst locks you into one specific NHL pattern but delivers pro-grade construction if that curve happens to fit your game. The price difference is minimal, but the Blackout offers choice while the Catalyst offers certainty.
