Intro & New Features

TRUE Temper Hockey kicks off 2022 with the Catalyst PX hockey stick. The Catalyst 9X has been slowly blooming as a favourite of elite players, and the updated and upgraded Catalyst PX features many returning and brand new technologies to make the line even better. This iteration reintroduces TRUE’s PLD tech and Axenic Tech, and debuts ResFlo and TRT into the line. TRUE continues to revise their popular Catalyst hockey stick to integrate new, more efficient tech, which is how they’ve also managed to reach their strongest and lightest mid kick stick yet.

Stick Flex Profile

The Catalyst PX is part of the Catalyst family, which is TRUE’s power-focused gear line. As implied, mid kick specializes in adding explosive power to your one timers, wrist shots, and slap shots. This kick point is commonly used by defensemen and forwards who prefer to play up higher in the offensive zone.

Shaft Construction

TRUE reintroduced their PLD tech, or Precision Laminate Design, into the Catalyst PX. As it did with the Catalyst 9X, PLD focuses on ply angles in the make of the stick, keeping it efficient, lightweight, and durable. PLD works with Axenic tech to enhance the one-piece construction and feel that comes with it.

ResFlo is new for 2022 and addresses resin distribution to make sure voids in the construction are minimized. This tech complements the new material advances and lower resin content found in the Catalyst PX, resulting in a major weight reduction from the Catalyst 9X while keeping its strength and flex profile.

Blade Construction & Stiffness

The blade features a TRT design, or Tri Rib Tech. This construction reinforces key areas that tend to take the most impact from the puck by placing rib structures strategically along the blade. This results in a more stable and durable blade. The new addition of expanding foam and rib structures extending up the toe add to the stability, effectively increasing strength and accuracy in your shots. TRUE also reinforced the hosel to be stronger, reducing pattern breakage.

Graphics

The Catalyst PX stays with the black and gold colouration of the rest of the line. It also keeps the honeycomb pattern angled along the shaft, in addition to the matte blade. The shaft is adorned with a silver “PX” beside the Catalyst name, differentiating it from the rest.

Grip

The Catalyst PX features a soft gloss grip on the shaft, making it easy to keep a good handle on your stick.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The TRUE Catalyst PX Intermediate Stick comes in the following blade patterns: TC2.

TC2 is the best all-round blade pattern, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs.
