At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and gives you a genuine NHL mid-kick build, but locks you into one flex and one curve with no flexibility. The HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter at 360g, offers a much wider curve selection, and delivers a faster low-kick release, but costs more than twice as much.
