New for 2020 is True’s midline goal stick, the AX5. It uses the same technologies seen in their player stick department such as their FiberShield, BRT+, Axenic and SmartPly to create a lightweight, balanced yet durable stick. A low kick profile gives a feel similar to that of a foam core when playing the puck giving goalies a stick that promotes quick releases and improves puck feel and control. Finally, a redesigned balance point that sits right near the shoulder creates a lighter stick that is lighter and more balanced than its predecessor.
Shaft Construction
The shaft is made using a combination of True’s FiberShield and Axenic technologies. FiberShield technology which is an array of nanoparticles distributed throughout the shaft for improved balance and durability. Axenic technology creates a compression molded shaft that gives more direct puck feel and better control.
Paddle Construction
True uses the same BRT+ technology seen in their AX5 player stick in the paddle of the AX5 goal stick. It is meant to make for a stronger yet lighter paddle with a more durable construction. As seen in the shaft, the paddle uses the same FiberShield technology to improve balance and durability over previous A series sticks.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
Using FiberShield, BRT+ and SmartPly technologies, the blade of the AX5 goal stick is a great balance of thin, stiff and durable. SmartPly is used to optimize the angles of the fibers being laid down in order to create a higher impact strength while keeping weight down.
Graphics
The AX5 Custom Color comes in the following NHL team colorways; Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Vegas Golden Knights.
Grip
A unique speckled grip pattern is used on the shoulder of the AX9 goal stick. It provides a solid feeling grip when holding the stick but is slick enough to allow for quick poke check or puck playing motions where your blocker needs to be able to slip away.
