The TRUE Project X offers excellent puck feel and a whippy flex that some players love, but it suffers from severe blade durability issues. Multiple reviewers report blade cracks, separations, and heel breaks occurring within days to weeks of use, often shortly after warranty expiration. While the stick's lightweight design and shooting performance are praised by those whose sticks survive, the consistent failure pattern makes it unreliable for regular play.
A good stick while it lasts. Durability is major concern here. Like other reviews, the fail point on these seems to be the blade. My son's (14U) blade separated in different places rendering the stick useless. He did enjoy using the stick and it has performed very well up until the point of failure.
My son loved how light the stick was and how it felt. Unfortunately it broke the 3rd time he ever used it, while taking a wrist shot.
Perspective: I play lower level beer league, and have played for 20 plus years. Weight: This stick is LIGHT, in my opinion too light. It feels like you're holding a Styrofoam stick. I pay special attention to weight because I'm an older player with some wrist arthritis, but this stick is so light that it feels weird. Shooting: Nothing spectacular, my shots felt weaker over my previous stick-Bauer Hyperlight. Puck handling: I use a T92, good all around curve. The puck feel and control felt good with this stick. Durability: Terrible. Lost its pop quickly and broke within a few months (maybe 15 games).
Blade cracked just outside of warranty. Kid loves the stick. But I said only if the give them to you.
