The True HZRDUS Smoke Stick is built for the player who creates chaos with quick hands, slick edges, and a release that makes goalies look twice. Weighing in at just 360 grams (85 flex), this is one of the lightest, best-balanced, and most durable HZRDUS sticks yet.
The engine behind all that performance? The all-new SRT-4S Blade Core. Its four-rib structure channels more energy into every shot for better accuracy and explosive pop, especially on deceptive wristers and in-tight snappers. Paired with the signature HZRDUS low-kick flex profile, the Smoke delivers one of the quickest, most effortless releases in the game.
True also brought back their Axenic one-piece construction, molded under extreme compression for better consistency than traditional bladder-molded sticks. Combined with Spread Tow carbon fiber and their ResFlo Resin System, the Smoke stays featherlight and strong, and most importantly, keeps that "new stick pop" feel alive longer.
Whether you're weaving through defenders, zipping a cross-seam pass, or picking corners in tight, the True HZRDUS Smoke has the quickness, feel and accuracy to make every puck touch count.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Strategic Rib Placements (SRT4) This new four-rib internal structure improves blade stiffness and energy transfer for an explosive release and improved shot accuracy.
Innovative Foam Core This new material enhances strength while reducing weight, all while surpassing True's own durability standard. The enhanced compaction in the laminate is the biggest improvement compared to the previous generation.
ResFlo Technology This next-generation design process reduces the amount of resin (glue) needed to build the stick; resulting in a more consistent and lighter product without compromising strength.

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.

Came back for the 92I originally bought a T28 and loved it... I wanted to try a T92 curve so came back to the SMOKE for another go. Both sticks out perform anything I have played in the past year... wouldn't hesitate to buy this stick again.

Would Recommend
Smoke 28I have 2 versions of the HZRDUS PX with no problems and decided to give the Smoke 28 Curve a try. Great feel while stickhandling and easy to shoot if you shoot from the toe. Defintely a super fast release even if not loaded completely.
