AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 gives you a mid-kick for harder, more controlled shots with a 90 flex, while the HZRDUS 9X4 runs a low-kick with a softer 70 flex for quick releases. The HZRDUS costs $30 more but the real difference is how the kick point feels on your release: mid-kick lets you load the stick more before it fires, while low-kick snaps away faster.
