AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 has a mid kick that loads up and gives you more shot power, while the HZRDUS PX has a low kick that snaps the puck out faster. Both are pro-spec builds at the same price, but the 5-flex difference (90 vs 85) means the Catalyst will feel stiffer and the PX will be a touch more whippy.
