New True Catalyst 9X Pro Stock Right Handed Senior Hockey Stick - 70 Flex Lindholm Mid Kick

This custom TRUE Catalyst 9X stick is a pro return from Calgary Flames player Elias Lindholm. The construction follows that of a standard Catalyst 9X, with a couple of custom features. The stick uses a square (A) geometry and gloss grip with full square wrap decals, which are imprinted along the finish on the shaft. A geometry is the standard square geometry you would find on a 9X stock stick, with traditionally rounded corners and slightly concave walls. The blade is a modified custom TC2 with a bit more curve. TC2 is equivalent to a P92 Bauer or P29 CCM stick. This is a mid kick hockey stick, meaning it excels at puck control and powerful shots. Lindholm’s variation is 60 inches at flex 70 with an orange colouration. Sticks in the TRUE pro stock collection are custom-modelled after specific NHL player specs and use a different graphic pattern than the 9X. Pro stock sticks are made tougher and sturdier than stock sticks to accommodate pro-level playstyles.

True’s Catalyst 9X hockey stick represents a significant advancement in their lineup, emphasizing lightweight construction without sacrificing performance. This stick builds upon the success of the previous XC series by incorporating innovations like the Precision Laminate Design. This new layering process utilizes spread tow fabric to significantly reduce weight while maintaining durability. The Catalyst 9X is one of True’s lightest sticks ever, making it ideal for players who prioritize maneuverability and quick releases. The stick also features a mid kick point that offers a good balance between power for shooting and responsiveness for puck handling, making it a versatile option for offensive players.

True is known for its incredibly lightweight sticks. True Temper technology has been making carbon materials for sporting goods for decades. Catalyst is one of the newest sticks and True's flagship model for a mid-kick point stick. It really balances both powerful shots and good control for accurate passing and shooting.
