AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 has a mid kick that loads up easier for a bigger shot, while the HZRDUS 9X4 has a low kick for faster release. The Catalyst is also $30 cheaper, but the HZRDUS is a flex 100 compared to the Catalyst's 115, so it'll feel easier to load if you're not a max-power player.
