At a glance
The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and gives you a genuine NHL pro-stock mid-kick build, but locks you into one flex and one curve. The Covert Deluxe 2025 is noticeably lighter at 365g, offers a much wider curve selection, and delivers a low-kick feel, but costs more than double.
