TRUE Hockey is kicking off the next season with a brand new low kick stick family. Designed to enhance quick release, the HZRDUS 9X stick features a lightweight build and many elite features also found at TRUE’s highest price points, including Resflo, TRT, PLD, and Axenic technology.
Stick Flex Profile
The HZRDUS 9X features a low kick profile, which is ideal for quick release and up-close shots. The low kick profile works in tandem with the light weight to enhance the game for players who really love to get in the thick of the action.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
The HZRDUS 9X uses TRUE’s patented Axenic Technology, which is the system they use to craft a truly seamless one-piece stick. In addition, the stick uses a Precision Laminate Design (PLD) to increase the shaft’s durability and strength upon impact. PLD is partially responsible for the stick’s revolutionary low weight.
TRUE originally introduced Focused Resin Flow (Resflo) in the Catalyst PX, and the shaft technology returns in the HZRDUS line as well. This tech is designed to reduce excess space, resulting in a more consistent laminate.
Blade Construction
Tri Rib Tech (TRT) is a system involving specific rib placement in the blade near where it would take the most impact. The resulting blade is lighter, stabler, and much more rigid. The hosel of the HZRDUS 9X has been reinforced with high-grade material, stabilizing the area and making it much more durable.
Grip
The HZRDUS 9X stick features a soft gloss grip on the shaft, making it easy to keep a good handle on your stick.
Graphics
With the HZRDUS family debut comes some brand new graphics. The HZRDUS 9X presents itself with an orange and black splatter pattern. The “HZRDUS” text logo sits along the shaft in black, and its outline, the TRUE LOGO, 9X, and HZRDUS’ new image logo are all in a clean, reflective chrome colouring.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The HZRDUS 9X Senior hockey stick is available in the following blade patterns: TC2, TC2.5, TC4, MC, and TC6.
TC2 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. TC2.5 is the same but with a lower lie (5.0 rather than 6.0).
TC4 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
MC is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
TC6 is a hybrid of the TC2 and and TC4 blade patterns, with the lie of the TC4 (5.0) and the toe of the TC2. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.
TC2 (65, 75, 85, 95), L/R - 60”
TC2.5 (65, 75, 85, 95), L/R - 60”

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
General Guidelines for Choosing a Hockey Sticks
Stick length tends to be a preference, but you can use these general guidelines to help determine what is best for you. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting too large a size can hinder performance, as the more you cut off the stick, the stiffer the stick will get. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off.
Picking the Correct Length of a Hockey Stick
Once you have received your hockey stick, it is time to make sure it is the length you desire. This is generally a personal preference but here is good place to start if you are unsure how long to cut your stick. To determine the proper height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level. Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plastic plug from the top if it is a composite stick.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Lie
The blade lie describes the angle of the blade in relation to the shaft. A Lie 5 is a 135 degree angle and each lie increase is an angle decrease of 2 degrees (the higher the lie the greater the angle). A player’s body positioning impacts the lie needed. The straighter up the player stands, the more the toe of the blade will be on the ice. The deeper the player bends down the more heel of the blade will be on the ice. A lower lie is more recommended for a player that skates really bent over or uses a longer stick. A higher lie is recommended for a player that skates more upright and prefers a shorter stick.
If you’re noticing too much wear on the heel or the toe of your stick then it might be a good idea to get a different lie. Go to a lower lie if you’re experiencing a lot of heel wear and go to a higher lie if that wear is appearing closer to the toe.
Kick Point
Mid-Kick sticks & Low-Kick sticks: a mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
Grip
There are two options when it comes to the finish on sticks: clear or grip. A traditional clear finish on a stick will allow for easy movement of the players hand up and down the shaft of the stick. A grip option is a “sticky” feeling down the shaft that will give the player better control when shooting. Leaning into a slap shot, the grip option will not allow the stick to twist in the players hand when the stick makes contact with the puck for a more accurate shot. Grip on a stick is a personal preference option that each player will have a different opinion on.
