AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you eight curve options to experiment with, while the True Catalyst locks you into one specific NHL curve and flex that's built for stronger shooters. You're paying $20 more for the Catalyst's mid-kick power and pro-spec construction, but losing all flexibility in customization.
