At a glance
The Encrypt Pro Willy Styles gives you a lighter, more versatile stick with a hybrid kick and two curve options, but you're paying way more for that package. The Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is way more affordable and delivers a genuine NHL-spec mid-kick build, though you're locked into one flex and one curve.
