New True Catalyst 9X Pro Stock Right Handed Senior Hockey Stick - 85 Flex T92Marner Lie 6.0

The Catalyst 9X stick features a mid-zone flex that allows maximum energy loading for effortless power and a stiff taper zone to maximize control. The shaft is constructed with PLD technology that optimized 25 layers of carbon fiber and is designed with an advanced laminate construction to reduce overall weight without impacting durability. The laminate construction optimizes fiber angles and provides both improved stiffness and impact strength. The shaft shape has square corners with double concave for better feel. The blade of this stick consists of True’s new BAT technology. This technology incorporates lightweight braided Aramid fibers from the heel to the toe of the blade for superior accuracy. The blade also features greater consistency and vibration damping properties on impact for better control. The all-new spread tow fabric used throughout the stick encapsulates the Catalyst 9X shaft and blade, providing unmatched strength in a lightweight build for shot consistency and power. The fabric used in this stick is 59% lighter than the fabric used in the 2019 XC9, and the overall stick is 40 grams lighter than the XC9 stick.

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.
