New for 2020 is True’s flagship goal stick, the AX9. It uses all the same technologies seen in their player stick department such as their FiberShield, BRT , Axenic and SmartPly to create a lightweight, balanced yet durable stick. The AX9 features a braided rib throughout the paddle for a thinner, lighter paddle that is more durable than that of previous A series goal sticks. A low kick profile gives a feel similar to that of a foam core when playing the puck giving goalies a stick that promotes quick releases and improves puck feel and control. Finally, a redesigned balance point that sits right near the shoulder creates a lighter stick that is 5% lighter than its predecessor.

Shaft Construction
The shaft is made using a combination of True’s FiberShield and Axenic technologies. FiberShield technology which is an array of nanoparticles distributed throughout the shaft for improved balance and durability. Axenic technology creates a compression molded shaft that gives more direct puck feel and better control.

Paddle Construction
True uses the same BRT technology seen in their AX9 player stick in the paddle of the AX9 goal stick. It is meant to make for a stronger yet lighter paddle with a more durable construction. As seen in the shaft, the paddle uses the same FiberShield technology to improve balance and durability over previous A series sticks.
