At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and suits players who want a mid-kick feel for loading up on shots, while the HZRDUS 9X4 runs $30 more and is built around a low kick for a faster, quicker release. The bigger practical differences are the kick point feel and the flex, with the Johansen build coming in at a stiffer 100 flex versus the Bellows at 85.
