Intro/New Features
The TRUE Catalyst 5X Stick offers incredible performance, durability, and playability at this opening price-point. It weighs just 350 grams (40 flex) with the playability and feel of top-end sticks from just a few years ago. If you are looking to get great value and an ever better price, this stick is the one for you.
Stick Flex Profile
The Catalyst 5X Hockey Stick features a mid-zone flex that loads easily. A stiff taper zone maximizes shooting and passing accuracy.
Shaft Construction
The advanced Axenic one-piece construction helps to shed weight and improves the overall performance compared to its fused two-piece counterparts. Axenic also works with the mid-kick flex profile to give players hard shot power with minimal effort, making it especially ideal for defenseman or players who just like to shoot from further out on the net.
Blade Construction & Stiffness
The major improvements in this opening price point stick can be found in the improved blade technology. The 5X utilizes TRUE Hockey’s patented BRT+ (Braided Rib Technology Plus). This blade design has been utilized in the AX9 top of the line stick in 2019, and is now found in the 5X. It creates a stronger, lighter blade with increased heel durability – outperforming any other stick at this price point in strength and consistency.
Graphics
New to this season TRUE has introduced the Catalyst family, and with a new family comes new graphics. The 5X features a soft glossy black base with gold and white accents throughout. The sleek matte black blade pulls the entire stick together quite nicely.
Grip
The 5X features a soft gloss grip shaft to allow your hands to securely hold the stick at all times.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
With the TRUE Catalyst 5X Stick – the TC2.5T max height blade pattern is available. Popular with Pro players, this blade pattern is ideal for players looking for an edge in the face-off department and helps significantly with tipping pucks due to its increased surface area.
