If you want exactly what an NHLer uses and have the strength to handle pro-level stiffness, the Catalyst wins. If you want flexibility to dial in your setup or aren't sure what flex suits you yet, the Alpha LX2 is the smarter buy.

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Ryan Mcleod

  • You're a stronger shooter who wants authentic NHL mid-kick performance and don't need curve or flex options
  • You prefer a proven pro-spec layup over mid-range construction
  • You shoot hard slaps and snappers where mid-kick delivers power

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX2

  • You want to test different flexes (40, 50, 55, 63, 75) before committing to one
  • You need a hybrid kick that handles both snappers and slaps equally well
  • You value $27 in savings and don't need the absolute lightest, stiffest build
