Key Features
INVRT 4-Point Flex Profile
TRUE's INVRT technology features an optimized four-point flex profile designed specifically around a goaltender's bottom-hand positioning.
This unique construction enhances energy loading throughout the stick when passing or shooting, helping goalies generate powerful puck movement with a controlled, responsive release.
Vibration Suppression System (VSS)
The Vibration Suppression System (VSS) is engineered directly into the paddle to absorb impact energy and reduce vibrations.
Whether you're stopping hard shots, directing rebounds, or handling the puck, VSS helps deliver a smoother feel with improved comfort and control.

The Catalyst NITRO features redesigned face flags that strategically wrap around both edges of the paddle.
This innovative construction helps reduce overall weight while improving paddle strength, creating a lightweight and durable feel during demanding game situations.

Strategically added material in the upper portion of the shaft improves strength and balance.
This helps create a controlled, stable feel when making saves, handling rebounds, or transitioning into puck-playing situations.

The square shaft geometry and standard shoulder design provide a familiar, balanced feel for goaltenders.
This construction supports consistent hand positioning and controlled stick movements throughout the game.
