AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst is a pro-spec stick built for stronger shooters who want a genuine NHL mid-kick and are willing to pay for it, while the Rise Youth is half the price and built for newer players learning the game with a more forgiving hybrid kick. The Catalyst locks you into one flex and curve, but the Rise gives you two flex options to grow into as you develop.
