The True Hzrdus 7X5 Goalie Stick remains a powerhouse for the competitive goalie who demands premium performance without the premium price tag. Ushering in the same elite-level construction and performance goalies have come to trust, its low-kick profile is ideal for puck handlers who love to make breakout passes or shut down forecheck pressure with confident clears.
True's Vibration Suppression System neutralizes high-impact shots off the shaft or paddle, keeping your hands steady for every save. The paddle is structurally reinforced with four internal ribs to boost stiffness and durability in high-traffic situations. With continued use of ResFlo Resin and Performance Laminate Design, these technologies work together by providing ultra-thin carbon layering. This combination keeps the stick featherlight while enhancing its strength and longevity, giving goalies elite-level reliability game after game.
