AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Playrite is way more affordable at around $60 and built for beginners learning the game, but you're getting a heavier stick with basic construction. The Catalyst 9X3 costs $160 and gives you a genuine NHL pro-spec build with better materials, but locks you into one flex and curve that's designed for stronger, more experienced shooters.
