AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 gives you an actual NHL player's stick with a mid kick that loads power into your shot, but you're locked into one stiff flex and curve. The HZRDUS 5X5 is lighter, cheaper, and gives you six flex options plus two curves, making it way more versatile if you're still dialing in what works for your game.
