AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst is way more affordable at $160 and comes ready to go with a genuine NHL pattern, but you're locked into one stiff flex that only works for stronger players. The HZRDUS costs $400 and gives you six flex options plus four curve choices, plus newer blade tech designed for explosive power.
