The True HZRDUS 3X5 Stick is built for the competitive sniper who demands bulletproof durability without sacrificing performance. This extra-reinforced, low-kick profile twig tips the scales at 444 grams (75 flex) and delivers one of the fastest, most effortless releases in its class.
From the first stickhandle, you'll notice the PASS Foam blade core that offers exceptional puck feel and explosive shot recoil, paired with SRT-3 reinforcement to keep your shots laser-straight, even under heavy loads. Thanks to True's Axenic one-piece compression-molding technology and the advanced ResFlo Resin system, the 3X5 snaps off deadly quick shots backed with intense power like a pro model with out the pro model price tag.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Axenic One-Piece Construction Patented compression molding process that delivers industry-leading consistency and energy transfer.
Strategic Rib Technology (SRT3) This 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 uppermost rib helps to promote a long-lasting feel and responsiveness while also aiding in accuracy.
Performance Advanced Strengthening System (PASS) A forgiving blade core provides excellent feel for the puck and tough durability that prevents premature breakdown.

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.
