The Sherwood True Touch T90 ABS Stick brings elite-level specs to the outdoors. This ABS model features nearly the exact same construction as the popular T90 full composite stick, except it utilizes ABS reinforcement on the blade.
Unlike most composite ABS sticks on the market, the T90 ABS uses 100% premium carbon composite in the shaft and makes up a large portion of the blade too. This helps to reduce weight while increasing responsiveness for elite-level feel outside. The VRF.2 blade core uses previously mentioned ABS on the bottom but still maintains a foam-filled, bridge-reinforced construction. This makes for a very stiff blade that has good puck feel and stays true to the target on big shots.

Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| VRF.2 Technology with ABS Reinforcement Designed for outdoor play, this stick can handle rough surfaces without sacrificing puck feel or responsiveness. A completely re-engineered foam core resists premature breakdown, helping the stick maintain a crisp, "new-stick" feel for longer, while a sandpaper-like finish enhances control for confident handling in any conditions. | |
| Carbon Bridge Stabilizer Reinforces the blade core to deliver the stiffness and rigidity needed for accurate shots, while reducing stress on the foam to preserve durability and maintain an optimal puck feel. | |
| Wider Hosel Creates an expanded connection point between the blade and shaft, increasing stiffness and durability in the slash zone. This reinforced design helps prevent blade twisting, resulting in more consistent contact and improved shot accuracy. |

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| 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. |
