AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst is a genuine NHL-built stick with a mid-kick and stiff 105 flex locked in one way, while the Alpha LX3 gives you a hybrid kick with six flex options and two curve choices for about the same price. The Catalyst feels more direct and powerful if you're a stronger shooter, but the Alpha LX3 offers way more flexibility to dial in what works for your game.
