At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and built around a proven NHL mid-kick setup, but you're locked into one flex and one curve. The Alpha Deluxe 2025 costs $350 USD but gives you a much wider curve selection, a listed weight of 363g, and a hybrid kick point that suits a broader range of shot styles.
