The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 USD and gives you a genuine NHL pro-stock build, but locks you into one flex and one curve. The Alpha Deluxe 2025 costs $350 USD but brings a much wider curve selection, elite-tier materials, and a known weight of 363g with better durability built in.
