AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and gives you a genuine NHL pro-stock build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no flexibility. The HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter at 360g with a much wider curve selection, but you're paying more than double for it.
