Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Ryan Mcleod

  • You're a stronger player and shoot a mid-kick stick already, so the fixed 90 flex matches what works for you
  • You want authentic NHL gear without paying full pro retail prices
  • Shot power and mid-kick feel matter more than customization options

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX3 Team

  • You're still figuring out your ideal flex or curve and need options to test
  • You play multiple positions or situations where different flexes help your game
  • You want a hybrid kick that handles both snap and power instead of committing to pure mid-kick
