AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X4 gives you a mid-kick for more shot power and costs $30 less, while the HZRDUS has a low kick for faster release but flexes at 85 instead of 110, which means it'll feel softer in your hands. Both are genuine NHL pro-spec builds, so the choice comes down to whether you prioritize shot velocity or quick-release speed.
