AI Breakdown

At a glance

The True Catalyst is way more affordable at $160 and gives you a genuine NHL pro-spec stick, but it locks you into one flex and curve. The Warrior Novium 2 costs more than double at $350, but you get modern carbon materials, a lighter 360g build, and 20 flex options across two curves to dial in your exact preference.
