When purchasing a new hockey stick, there are many factors to consider ensuring you get the best model for your level and style of play. To start, it is important to focus on kick-point. Finding the right kick point for your game will help take your shot, and your overall on-ice performance, to the next level. If you’re unsure where to start, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey.

The Catalyst 5x3 stick includes a mid-kick point that allows optimal control and accuracy. The weight of the stick comes in at 420g, which is a good weight for this price point. 

The blade of this stick consists of TRUE’s Tri Rib Tech (TRT) technology. This technology provides optimized durability in an ultra-lightweight design. Strategic Rib placements throughout the blade are designed to match puck impact points, providing a more stable blade structure on impact, leading to more accurate and powerful shots.

Capping off the technology in the 5X3 is the Axenic technology that creates a true one-piece stick build. This seamless build combines a compression-molded shaft into the blade.

Any skater, regardless of level or frequency of play, is encouraged to upgrade to one of the top-end Catalyst sticks if he or she wants to experience ultimate performance and the best technologies TRUE has to offer. But if you’re a player who skates occasionally and is looking for a quality stick at a great value, the Catalyst 5X3 proves to be a great choice.
