Catalyst 7 x 3 are defective and overly fragile
Yikes! Stay away from these balsa wood twigs. Bought two at once and both broke after just a few games.

The pattern
The TRUE Catalyst 7X3 suffers from significant durability issues, with multiple reviewers reporting shaft breakage after minimal use. One stick broke near the butt end after just 4 uses, while others failed within a few games. Additionally, there's a documented quality control problem with length specifications—one unit shipped at 60" despite being advertised as 62", requiring the use of plugs to achieve the desired length.
Cons
- −Shaft breakage
- −Length inaccuracy
- −Fragile construction

Good but inaccurate description
The stick is good. Hard to find a low lie with a curve and flex I like. However the description states 62" for length. It was only 60 inches. 62" is why I bought the stick. I don't like having to put plugs in

True Toothpick
Snapped 10 inches from the butt end after about 4 uses. I know, weird spot for a stick to break. First True stick I bought and will probably be my last. Ended up being 5 days out of the warranty, so I’m SOL.
