Intro & New Features
Introducing the TRUE HZRDUS Smoke 9x5 Hockey Stick for the 2025 season. This stick features many important specs to make it a pro-like stick, offered at the retail level. This includes Resflo which minimizes voids, resulting in a stronger, more consistent laminate, PLD material that guarantees best in class for weight and balance, and Axenic technology, which produces an ultra consistent one-piece design for optimal performance.
Stick Flex Profile
The HZRDUS Smoke 9x5 stick comes equipped with an optimized low kickpoint, meaning that the stick is designed for quick and explosive shots. The low-kick point is positioned near the bottom of the shaft, allowing players to generate maximum energy transfer from the blade to the puck during snap shots and wrist shots. This design works well for players who prioritize speed in their shooting technique. The lightning-fast release makes the stick ideal for fast-paced gameplay and situations where a quick shot is crucial.
TRUE also included a reinforced hosel construction. This is designed to improve stability and durability of the stick, while it flexes lower on the shaft, near the blade.
Blade Construction
Engineered with strategically placed ribs, the SRT4S technology provides exceptional stability and impact resistance in the blade. This design optimizes energy loading, ensuring a powerful and precise release with every shot. The result is unmatched consistency, accuracy, and power giving you the edge on the ice.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
The double concave shaft on this stick features rounded corners. This provides players with a more natural feel, as well as grip while holding onto their stick. The seamless, industry-leading shaft build puts the players hands in direct contact with the puck, allowing for enhanced puck control.
The PLD construction guarantees best in class weight and balance, providing better performance, longevity, and durability.
Grip
Equipped with a soft gloss grip finish, and a textured blade, this construction is enhanced for better puck feel and control. This provides players with the ability to feel the puck better on their blade and control play better.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The True HZRDUS Smoke 9x5 Junior Hockey Stick comes in the following blade patterns: T28, and T92.
T28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but can be difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
T92 is the best all-around blade pattern. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs.

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. 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 hockey 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 a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark 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 plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
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.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
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.
