Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Ryan Mcleod

  • You're a stronger shooter who wants maximum shot power and control from a mid-kick design
  • You prefer stiffer sticks (90 flex) and don't mind the pro-spec build being less forgiving
  • You want to save $30 and get an NHL-spec Catalyst blade pattern

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Iginla

  • You shoot quickly and want that low-kick snap without thinking about the release
  • You need a softer flex (70 vs 90) because the pro-spec stiffness in the Catalyst feels too rigid for you
  • You specifically want the newer TC4 blade pattern over the Mid Max curve
