AI Breakdown

At a glance

The RPG-Pro is way more affordable, fully customizable, and lighter at 375g with multiple flex and curve options to dial in your exact preference. The Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro stock stick locked into one flex and curve, so you're getting an NHL-spec build but zero adjustability and no weight listed.
