AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X4 loads energy in the middle of the shaft for bigger shot power, while the HZRDUS fires the puck faster with its low kick point closer to your hands. The Catalyst is $20 cheaper, but the HZRDUS flexes at 100 versus 95, so it's stiffer and built for players with serious arm strength.
