At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine NHL-spec stick built for power but locked into one flex and curve, while the Novium 2 SP gives you way more affordable one-piece construction with five flex options and three curves to choose from. The Catalyst wins on authentic pro stiffness and mid-kick performance, but the Novium undercuts it by $30 and lets you actually customize your setup.
