Intro & New Features
TRUE Hockey is kicking off the next season with a brand new low kick stick family. Designed to enhance quick release, the HZRDUS 9X stick features a lightweight build and many elite features also found at TRUE’s highest price points, including Resflo, TRT, PLD, and Axenic technology.
Stick Flex Profile
The HZRDUS 9X features a low kick profile, which is ideal for quick release and up-close shots. The low kick profile works in tandem with the light weight to enhance the game for players who really love to get in the thick of the action.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
The HZRDUS 9X uses TRUE’s patented Axenic Technology, which is the system they use to craft a truly seamless one-piece stick. In addition, the stick uses a Precision Laminate Design (PLD) to increase the shaft’s durability and strength upon impact. PLD is partially responsible for the stick’s revolutionary low weight.
TRUE originally introduced Focused Resin Flow (Resflo) in the Catalyst PX, and the shaft technology returns in the HZRDUS line as well. This tech is designed to reduce excess space, resulting in a more consistent laminate.
Blade Construction
Tri Rib Tech (TRT) is a system involving specific rib placement in the blade near where it would take the most impact. The resulting blade is lighter, stabler, and much more rigid. The hosel of the HZRDUS 9X has been reinforced with high-grade material, stabilizing the area and making it much more durable.
Grip
The HZRDUS 9X stick features a soft gloss grip on the shaft, making it easy to keep a good handle on your stick.
Graphics
With the HZRDUS family debut comes some brand new graphics. The HZRDUS 9X presents itself with an orange and black splatter pattern. The “HZRDUS” text logo sits along the shaft in black, and its outline, the TRUE LOGO, 9X, and HZRDUS’ new image logo are all in a clean, reflective chrome colouring.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The HZRDUS 9X Senior hockey stick is available in the following blade patterns: TC2, TC2.5, TC4, MC, and TC6.
TC2 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. TC2.5 is the same but with a lower lie (5.0 rather than 6.0).
TC4 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
MC is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
TC6 is a hybrid of the TC2 and and TC4 blade patterns, with the lie of the TC4 (5.0) and the toe of the TC2. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.
TC2 (65, 75, 85, 95), L/R - 60”
