Product description
Pro Stock sticks do not come with a stick warranty, but offer an amazing price for a top quality stick. Made for the NHL Pros...and UNUSED by them. Choose your player...and rip it like the pros.
NOTE: Very cool feature is that True sent these players the sticks in their respective NHL team colors! The stick you choose will be in the color of the team the player played for in the 2022 Season, or the color the player chose individually for their custom NHL stick!
Stick Flex Profile
The Catalyst 9X senior stick features a mid-zone flex that loads easily and a stiff taper zone to maximize shooting and passing accuracy.
Shaft Construction
The True Catalyst 9X is constructed with Precision Laminate Design (PLD) which debuted on the Project X stick. PLD is the optimization of fiber angles to provide stiffness and impact strength with each layer of material. In technical terms – there are fewer 0-degree plies used and more off-axis plies (15-45 degrees) to achieve stiffness while adding impact strength. In plain English – PLD allows weight reduction without a loss in impact strength.
True’s Axenic Technology returns. This seamless compression-molded shaft construction process gives an incredible feel for the puck which you notice instantly when stickhandling.
Blade Construction & Stiffness
In order to achieve their goal of balancing improved feel with reduced weight, True removed the XCORE insert previously found in the XC9 stick and replaced the blade’s core with their new BAT Technology. BAT builds off of True’s BRT+ Technology but uses Aramid fiber (better known as Kevlar) instead of carbon. Aramid is lighter and dampens vibrations more efficiently than carbon for a better puck feel.
PASS is a new foam core technology that looks and performs exactly like a foam core but has a much higher strength property. Boasting a 50% higher compression strength for repeated impacts and 25% higher shear strength to resist foam breakdown over time.
