AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 gives you a mid-kick feel at a lower price point, while the HZRDUS 9X4 is built around a fast release with a softer 80 flex that suits a wider range of players. The $20 price difference is small, but the kick point and flex gap between these two are significant enough to matter on every shot you take.
