AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 and gives you five curve options to find what works for your shot, but it's noticeably heavier at 500g. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a legit NHL-spec stick with a mid-kick that delivers shot power, but you're locked into one flex and curve at double the price.
