At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 and gives you a genuine NHL mid-kick build, but you're locked into one flex and curve. The Project X Storm 2025 costs $270 more but you get a featherlight 340g stick with an adaptive kick point, 15 flex options, and way more versatility for different shot types.
