Overview
The True A2.2 Grip Hockey Stick is designed for the occasional or house league player who wants high-end features without the big price tag. The True A2.2 showcases a true one-piece construction rather than a fused two-piece design; giving it more consistency, responsiveness and a better-balanced feel than the competition.
The blade utilizes Active Bond 2 Technology that delivers excellent puck feel and durability while the carbon twill weave enhances liveliness and pop. SmartPly is the strategic layering of carbon fiber in certain angles that creates a perfect marriage between weight, balance and industry-leading durability.

Previous Feedback
Comments: Good stick, exceptional value. MC curve, 75 flex. I'm 190 lbs, 6' tall, good skater, novice hockey player. This is the first new composite stick I have purchase, and the second I have used. I got the A2.2 on clearance plus another 25% off. Awesome! It came very well packaged and free ground shipping was only 4 days west coast to east coast. As soon as I got on the ice, the A2.2 felt like it had a lot of pop; a real solid feel and good control receiving passes. The A2.2 seems to be near the bottom of the True line, but I think that the features of a high-end stock would be lost on me. I don't have a breadth of experience with sticks, but I'll definitely come back to True for the value instead of shopping for a used stick.
