Overview
The True Catalyst XS3 Stick delivers top-tier performance and durability at an incredible value. Weighing just 415 grams (85 flex), True built this stick for the highly competitive power shooter looking for a mid-kick stick at an approachable price.
Featuring the industry-leading Axenic one-piece construction process with ResFlo and Precision Laminate Design (PLD) technologies, the Catalyst XS3 offers truly elite performance and energy transfer. These technologies don't just make the stick lighter and more durable; they fuel the powerful mid-kick point for maximum shot velocity.
Last but not least, the Tri-Rib Technology (TRT) enhances durability, puck feel, and control. The three support ribs prevent the blade core from premature breakdown while delivering pinpoint accuracy by resisting twisting on big shots.

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. |
