AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is a legit NHL-spec stick that costs less and comes with Ryan McLeod's exact game pattern, but you're locked into one flex and curve. The Project X 2023 is noticeably lighter at 333g with way more flex options to dial in your preference, but you're paying $21 more for that flexibility and premium carbon construction.
