Intro & New Features
The True HZRDUS Smoke ARC Hockey Stick is a Source Exclusive product that is developed to provide the best value by pulling design features and specs from higher-end models and incorporating them into a performance level stick.
Stick Flex Profile
The HZRDUS Smoke ARC stick uses a low kickpoint, which is ideal for quick release and up-close shots. The low kick profile works in tandem with the lightweight feel to enhance the game for players who really love to get into the thick of the action.
Shaft Construction
The double concave shaft on this stick features square corners. This provides players with a more natural feel, as well as grip while holding onto their sticks. The seamless, industry-leading shaft build puts the player’s hands in direct contact with the puck, allowing for easier movements.
Blade Construction
The TRT blade is constructed using pass foam. This design reinforces the blades durability, while also providing that pop that players look for while playing the puck. TRUE also strategically placed angled toe ribs and reinforced heel ribs to help boost stability and extend the stick's life and performance.
Grip
The Smoke ARC uses a soft gloss grip that is designed to balance keeping a solid hold on the stick with maneuverability across the shaft, with a matte finish on the blade. A tactile finish throughout the stick allows for improved stickhandling and puck control.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The True HZRDUS Smoke ARC Intermediate Hockey Stick is available in the following blade patterns: T28, T92, and T90T.
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 blade pattern for all around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
T90T is a hybrid of T28 and T92, it has the lie of the T92 with the toe of the T28. Additionally, this curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.

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.
