Intro & New Features

The HZRDUS SMOKE 9×5 goalie stick is new along with the 2025 hockey season, featuring a low kick to clear the puck quickly and deliver timely breakout passes. Engineered for elite-level responsiveness, it includes Resflo Resin System, which controls the flow of resin during construction to create a stronger, more consistent laminate for better puck feel and long-term durability.

Shaft Construction

The HZRDUS Smoke 9×5 goalie stick shaft has been made softer to complement the stiffer paddle for enhanced playability and puck control. One of the key technologies used is the integration of Resflo technology, which controls the flow of resin during construction to create a stronger, more consistent laminate for better puck feel and long-term durability.

Complementing Resflo is Trues Axenic Technology. This unique manufacturing process is instrumental in crafting an ultra-consistent, one-piece design. The absence of fusion points or overlaps in construction leads to a more balanced stick, translating to better control in handling the puck and shooting, as well as an enhanced feel during play. The stick also uses a Precision Laminate Design that guarantees best in class weight/balance, performance, longevity, and durability.

True has also included the use of Trues Vibration Suppression System, which is designed to absorb and disperse energy from puck impact, providing goalies with the perfect balance of feel and comfort when making stick saves.

Paddle Construction/Stiffness

The paddles design is a solid combination of balanced and lightweight to further enhance that efficiency and power you want when controlling and handling the puck. The heightened stiffness works with the softer shaft to enhance performance and feel. The stick is also designed with a low kick point, which is designed for optimal puck clearance.

Blade Construction

The blade is made using a SRT-4S construction. It is designed to provide more stability and power transfer on every clearing attempt by featuring a multi-rib structure that extends throughout the shaft into the blade. True also added Braided Aramid Technology into the blade to reinforce the blade for added strength and control.

Grip

The 9×5 goalie stick uses a clear gloss shaft, paddle, and blade with a textured grip on the shoulder for optimal feel and control. Along with the square shaft shape, it allows goalies to hold onto their sticks with confidence, while still remaining focused on the game.

Blade Patterns & Paddle Lengths

The True HZRDUS SMOKE 9×5 Intermediate Goalie Stick comes in paddle lengths 23 and 24, as well as in a T31 blade pattern. The stick is also offered in Black and Blackout.

T31 is a popular mid-curve pattern known for its balance of puck control and passing accuracy. It features a closed toe and is often described as having a lot of hook. This curve is well-suited for goalies who need to handle the puck in tight situations and make accurate passes.
