True’s next generation of X-Series hockey sticks comes in the 2017 ACF line. This type of stick will fall under the precision shooter’s category thanks to patented XCORE technology and complimenting features showcased in the XC5 ACF. For those who are curious the A–C-and F means Accuracy, Control, and Feel. This stick was designed to allow you to seek pinpoint accuracy while maximizing shot velocity, puck control, and puck feel. Here’s the inside scoop into TRUE’s XC5 ACF. Getting right into the stick’s construction, TRUE continued to utilize a high pressure clave molding process which they patented as Axenic Technology. The advantage of using this manufacturing process is that it yields a true one-piece hockey stick which results in very consistent internal walls, shaft shape, and of course a great balance and feel. Working alongside the Axenic Technology, SmartPly Technology optimizes performance, weight, and impact strength. SmartPly tech is a laminate design that is used with up to 25 inner layers of unidirectional carbon fiber; the way the fibers are angled and the order of those angles are what control torsional stiffness and protect from impact damage while maximizing performance and durability. All very impressive technology featured at this price point! The XC5 ACF is composed mainly of a carbon fiber and fiber glass blend which is organized into a 3K weave. This stick has a graduated mid-flex profile for optimal performance and feel in all game situations. Moving down to the blade, we’re going to see the patented XCORE technology. This is a compressible urethane insert embedded into the core of the blade starting in the heel and extending just past the center. This technology will produce an average of 30% more rotational puck spin leading to less flutter shots and more precise and accurate shots. XCORE technology also dampens and cradles the puck during passing and puck handling providing even more control and feel. This is the huge component to what gives the XC5 ACF its accuracy, control and feel. New to the XSERIES of sticks is going to be Braided Rib Technology (BRT) first seen in TRUE’s SBP lineup. These are seamless braided tubes located at the center and bottom of the blade that act as a dual bridge support for the blade core. This tech helps to produce the longest lasting and most consistent blade TRUE has ever made and is up to 50% stronger than its predecessor! Benefits of this modified BRT blade prevent the foam core from breaking down and losing its stiffness which will also help provide its accuracy and precision. The XC5 ACF certainly features an innovative design and proven technology at a fraction of the cost. If you are looking for a stick that will provide (ACF) unmatched accuracy, unmatched puck control, and unmatched feel…TRUE’s XC5 ACF is sure to be the total package at a value cost.

Warrior has made great strides when it comes to producing pro-level hockey sticks, and the Dynasty line of sticks helped them get to where they are. The Warrior Dynasty HD1 grip composite hockey stick features Warrior's new HyperDrive, or HD, engineered kick-zone. The HyperDrive Kickpoint builds and unleashes power through a highly-flexible kickpoint, improving accuracy and velocity of shots. Also worth noting is Warrior's carbon fiber and epoxy blend that have been combined to provide the HD1 with optimal strength and durability. The quality of these fibers also work to provide extra feel and blade response when handling the puck. Check out the latest and great addition to the Warrior Dynasty family, the HD1!

The Warrior Covert QR1 SE Grip Hockey Stick is the product of countless hours of research and design by Warrior which have proved extremely successful. Warrior has managed to knock a whopping 25 grams off of their previous stick models, including a 35% lighter blade! This means a couple of things: great feel, and quick release. The QR1 hockey stick features Warrior's Dagger T2 taper which works in accordance with a super low kick point to provide the shooter with an unbelievably quick release. The fact that Warrior has been able to drop so much weight is unreal because they have actually reinforced the stick to make it even more durable! They have implemented reinforced corners that allowed them to drop the weight while almost doubling the strength. All it is going to take is holding the QR1 stick in your hands to let you know this stick is the real deal!

The Bauer Supreme 180 stick was designed and developed for the player seeking visible technologies, pro level feel and playability at a performance level price. The Supreme line features a mid-kick flex profile, which means that it is easier to load through the middle due to its softer properties in that zone. It also features the Supreme power dual taper for a stiffer bottom portion of the shaft which in conjunction with the Pure Shot Blade profile, an expanded throat design as you transition from shaft to blade, provides torsional stiffness in such a way that reduces the likelihood of twisting and torquing of the blade. The 180 was engineered to boost energy output and provide a healthy combination of strength, power, precision and control. Just like the higher end Supreme 190 stick, the Supreme 180 uses a premium lightweight 12k woven carbon fiber in the shaft. 12k carbon is even better at managing stress than 3k woven carbon fiber, which has been used in high end composite sticks for years. The Supreme line of sticks have a square shaft shape with double-concave walls which is preferred among pros. Enhancing the nice secure grip provided from this shape is the MX3 Tac-Spiral ridges on the underside of the shaft. For the core of the Supreme 180 blade, Bauer uses a lightweight AERO FOAM 1, which provides great feel for the puck. The Blade is wrapped in Premium lightweight 3k Carbon Fiber, which adds stiffness to the blade, and features a matte finish. The Bauer Supreme 180 is a well-balanced stick with visible technologies that support a powerful and controlled shot all at a performance level price. This value proposition should get your consideration.
