Overview
The True Catalyst 3X3 Stick is the ultimate combination of performance and durability at this affordable price. Weighing just 440 grams (85 flex) with the Axenic True One-Piece construction, the mid-kick flex profile offers blistering shot power for heavy shooters looking to blow the puck straight past the goalie.
With such a powerful release, the new Tri-Rib Technology (TRT) and Performance Advanced Strengthening System (PASS) were paramount to ensuring the pucks stay accurate and controlled. TRT features a strategic triple-rib core construction that prevents the blade from twisting under load for better precision but it also extends the new-blade-feel longer too. Similarly, the new PASS foam is stiffer and longer lasting than before, meaning the puck comes off the face with a bit more zip but also lasts longer too.

Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| Axenic One-Piece Construction Patented compression molding process that delivers industry-leading consistency and energy transfer. |
|
| Tri Rib Technology (TRT) This new three-rib internal structure significantly improves durability and accuracy while reducing weight. The bottom-most rib reinforces the heavily-impacted heel area, while the middle rib is placed exactly at puck-contact height for maximum accuracy. The upper-most rib helps to promote a long-lasting feel and responsiveness while also aiding in accuracy. |
|
| Performance Advanced Strengthening System (PASS) New foam core composition provides more strength, stability and durability, which balance the softer BAT Technology. |

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. |
