Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Nic Hague

  • You want a genuine NHL-spec stick at a fraction of retail cost
  • You already know your flex (110) and blade curve (TC90T) and don't need options
  • You're a stronger player comfortable with pro-level stiffness and don't mind the heavy mid-kick feel
  • Budget is your main concern

Pick the Warrior Covert Deluxe

  • You want to dial in your exact flex and curve from multiple choices
  • You prefer low-kick loading and faster release over raw shot power
  • You value a noticeably lighter stick (365g matters when you're playing multiple games weekly)
  • You want modern premium carbon (Minimus Carbon 25) with proven QR6 Pro performance
