At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 and delivers a genuine NHL mid-kick build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve. The HZRDUS 7X5 is noticeably lighter at 400g with a much wider flex and curve selection, but costs $40 more and uses a low kick that suits a different shooting style.
