TRUE Catalyst 9X Pro Stock Senior Hockey Stick - Erik Karlsson RH (Used)

Used but immaculate condition… This custom TRUE Catalyst 9X stick is a pro return from San Jose Sharks (NHL) player Erik Karlsson. The construction follows that of a standard Catalyst 9X, with a couple of custom features. The stick uses a square (A) geometry and a matte grip. 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 custom-built specifically for Karlsson. Karlsson’s variation is 60 inches at 85 flex with a teal colouration. The stick is labelled “EK65” on the name bar. Right handed. 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 do not have a warranty, but they 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.
