Read our TRUE PROJECT X HOCKEY STICK REVIEW
The TRUE Project X INT Hockey Stick is a brand new stick launching in 2021. This low kick-point stick has been designed with weight and durability in mind. TRUE has incorporated 2 new technologies in their new line-up of sticks; Precision Laminate Design (PLD), and Braided Aramid Tech (BAT). They also incorporated their Axenic Technology true one-piece design in the Project X sticks as well. By combining these 3 high level technologies into one stick, the Project X Stick provides elite performance and is TRUE’s lightest weight stick to date at 355 grams.
Shaft Construction
The TRUE Project X Stick is constructed with their new Precision Laminate Design (PLD), which is 25 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber throughout the shaft. These are optimized through the angles the fibers are placed and in which order they are layered. In more relatable terms, PLD gives you stiffness and impact strength in every layer of the shaft. This construction has also been optimized for weight reduction and durability, which you expect from a high-end, elite level hockey stick.
Blade Construction
Carrying over from the A Series stick lineup is BRT+ technology, used in the blade construction of the Project X Stick. BRT+ provides a strong, lightweight blade that pairs well with a low kick point shaft to maximize energy transfer through the puck. An added feature with this technology is increased heel durability, to help prevent against the bottom of the blade splitting.
Stick Flex Profile
The Project X stick has an optimized low kick-point and Axenic Technology, which is a compression molded true one-piece stick. Axenic Technology is a seamless design and gives the player a direct feel with the puck.
Grip
The grip of the TRUE Project X stick is a matte / gloss finish.

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.
