AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is a pro stock build with a mid kick that's way more affordable, while the HZRDUS 7X5 is noticeably lighter with a much wider flex and curve selection and a low kick point built for quick releases. The bigger decision here is kick point feel and how much customization you need.
