At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is a true pro stock mid-kick build locked to one flex and one curve, while the HZRDUS 5X5 gives you a low-kick one-piece construction with way more flex and curve options at a similar price. Players will notice the kick point difference immediately, and the HZRDUS wins on fit flexibility by a wide margin.
