TRUE Catalyst
Mid Kick
The Catalyst line represents TRUE's entry into hockey stick manufacturing, leveraging golf shaft technology to deliver a mid-kick point platform suited for players seeking a balance between quick release and control. The mid-kick point promotes a responsive shot with moderate flex loading, making it accessible for a range of skill levels and play styles without sacrificing accuracy or power. Available across five models ranging from 378g average weight, the line offers options for different preferences while maintaining consistent performance characteristics throughout.





The TRUE Catalyst 7X3 suffers from significant durability issues, with multiple reviewers reporting shaft breakage after minimal use. One stick broke near the butt end after just 4 uses, while others failed within a few games. Additionally, there's a documented quality control problem with length specifications—one unit shipped at 60" despite being advertised as 62", requiring the use of plugs to achieve the desired length.

The TRUE Catalyst 9X3 is highly rated across 1 review with an average of 5/5.
