Stick Composite True XCore 9 Senior

Axenic:

• TRUE one-piece construction
• process which combines a compression molded shaft into a true one-piece construction
• a process so innovative it was awarded a United States patent
• the shaft walls thin towards the top while the blade laminates build the wall thickness back up, resulting in very consistent walls and amazing balance
• the blade is then co-molded with the shaft, without any post-bonding

Smartflex:

• composite design technology that utilizes a various stiffness distribution to make the shaft flex in specific areas depending on the type of shot
• improved player performance in every situation
• the top of the shaft is softer to allow the player to optimize their leverage and power without having to put their entire weight distribution behind the shot
• this increases performance on wrist shots (quick release) and gives players a better feel for puck control, pass reception and passing
• from the center of the shaft to the blade, the flex is optimized to again maximize leverage while maintaining accuracy through slap shots, one timers and even face-offs
• Smartflex gives players the edge under all conditions

Smartply:

• optimized performance, weight, and durability of a shaft
• up to 25 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber in a single shaft
• fiber angles and the order of those angles can drastically influence flex, torsional response, and impact strength of a shaft
• 3K high quality material used
• very impact resistant trough compression molding
• countless hours in the lab perfecting the most optimum laminate design
• the result – the most optimum laminate designs to maximize performance and durability while minimizing weight

Active Bond:

• advanced blade design
• multi, full length ribs join the front and rear faces of the blade
• dual rib optimizes energy load transfer during the flex of the blade
• this prevents the foam core from breaking down so the stiffness and power output is consistent over the life of the blade
• True engineers were able to remove 10 grams of weight from current high end blade designs
• amazing balance only found in True sticks

Pro vs. Retail:

• no quality difference - there is no separate stick version for retail
• you play the same stick like the pro’s do
• full performance in every stick - that’s TRUE
• some brands have decided to produce special retail sticks.They might feel different and lighter to sell them easier but the quality is not the same like the pro versions
• the retail version will feel different from the pro version > balance, feeling and stability are not the same
