The Limited Edition Project X StormStick is the future of stick performance, featuring an adaptive, AI-driven kick point called SmartFlex AI that reacts in real time, so you get the optimal release no matter how you load it. The result is uncompromising performance: quick snaps feel effortless, and wide-handed blasts carry real, brutal power.
Technically it reacts like a hybrid flex profile, but in the hands the Storm feels as effortless as a low-kick while offering serious power when you drop your bottom hand. It literally reads your game and changes on the fly, from lightning-quick wristers to blistering one-timers from the point.
Down low, True leaned on their proven SRT-4S blade construction with optimized rib placement to convert every ounce of effort into puck velocity. The blade, paired with PLD 2.0 and ResFlo 2.0 manufacturing, strips unnecessary weight from top to bottom, dropping the stick to 356 grams (85 flex) while improving durability over prior Project X models.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
SmartFlex AI An adaptive flex profile that automatically changes stiffness based on hand placement and pressure. When hands are close together, you get more flex for quicker releases. When the hands are wider, you get more stiffness for maximum power.
Precision Laminate Design 2.0 (PLD 2.0) This process sheds unnecessary weight by stripping down cosmetics with strategic reinforcement in the glue that holds the fibers together for ultimate featherlight strength.
ResFlo 2.0 Resin System Next-gen resin control that reduces voids and weak spots, improving consistency and longevity while keeping weight down.
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.
