At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 and built around mid-kick power, while the Project X is noticeably lighter at 333g with a low kick for shooters who prioritize release speed over raw shot power. Both are single-curve sticks with round shafts, so the real decision comes down to kick point feel and how much the $21 price difference matters to you.
