New True Hockey Catalyst 9X3 Grip Left Handed 30 Flex T92.5 Curve

The True Catalyst 9X3 Stick is the pinnacle of mid-kick performance and weight. At a ridiculous 357 grams (85 flex), it still brings that signature powerful shot release, accuracy and control that other super-light sticks tend to lose at this threshold. When compared to the previous Catalyst PX, the 9X3 is 13 grams lighter with an even better blade feel and longevity thanks to the new Quad Rib System (QRS) and Innovative Foam Core. The quadruple rib structure utilizes strategic placements such as key puck impact areas that create the stability needed for the big, powerful shots. The Innovative Foam Core uses a brand new material that better forms inside the blade during the construction process, thus reducing weight and increasing strength all while shedding weight and offering a dampened puck feel. While the blade is the biggest upgrade from years past, the industry-leading ResFlo Resin, Precision Laminate Design (PLD) and Axenic true one-piece construction features are a must to talk about. The PLD is a finely tuned ultra-thin carbon layering process along with the premier ResFlo resin (or glue) creates one of the best-performing material bases in the game. The Axenic technology then utilizes a true one-piece construction process that results in a truly dialed-in, consistent and ready-to-fire 9X3 that will be sure to wreak havoc on goalies everywhere.

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.
