AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Gauthier is built at a stiff 115 flex for bigger, stronger players, while the Higgins comes in at 80 flex, making it accessible to a much wider range of skaters. Both are identical mid-kick Catalyst builds at the same price, so your choice really comes down to whether you need a pro-stiff stick or something you can actually load and shoot with.
