Overview
The True Catalyst 7X6 Hockey Stick brings intelligent flex performance and elite-level technology to players looking for a versatile release from anywhere on the ice. Featuring True's new SMARTFLEX AI kick profile, the 7X6 is engineered to adapt to different hand positions, shot types, and applied force, providing consistent energy loading whether you're firing a quick shot in tight or leaning into a heavy release from distance.
Developed using AI-driven flex mapping, SMARTFLEX AI creates seamless transitions between low, mid, and high kick points based on how the stick is loaded. This adaptive design gives players the freedom to change their release without being limited to one traditional kick profile, helping maximize power and responsiveness across a variety of shooting situations.
The SRT-D blade uses True's next-generation Strategic Rib Technology with a multi-rib structure extending through the toe. This construction increases blade stability to help prevent unwanted torsional flex and energy loss during the release, while added dampening layers absorb vibration for an elevated puck feel.
Built with True's square-corner, concave shaft geometry, the Catalyst 7X6 provides a familiar, controlled feel in the hands. A gloss grip finish with textured raised elements adds extra security and connection to the stick. Weighing in at 390 grams (60"), the True Catalyst 7X6 combines an adaptive release, stable puck control, and lightweight performance for players who want a stick capable of handling virtually any shot.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks. |
