At a glance

The RPG-Pro is way more affordable and gives you nine different blade patterns to find your shot, while the True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine NHL pro stock stick locked into one specific curve and flex. If customization and budget matter, go RPG-Pro; if you want exactly what an NHL player uses, the Catalyst demands you commit to its single setup.
