Pick the Sherwood T90 G3

  • You want a lighter feel on your hands and don't mind the extra grams

  • You're learning and don't need stiff flex that demands proper technique

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Tomas Lavoie

  • You have the strength to handle 105 flex and want genuine mid-kick shot power
  • You like the TC4 pattern and don't need multiple curve options
  • You want pro-spec construction and materials (actual NHL build quality)
  • You're an all-around shooter looking for reliable performance at the same price point
