The RPG-Pro gives you way more affordable pricing, lighter weight, and nine different blade curves to dial in your shot, while the True Catalyst locks you into one pro-spec flex and curve at a similar price point. RPG-Pro is the customizable budget play; True is the NHL-pattern stick for players who already know what they want.
