Overview
The TRUE Project X GLITCH Junior 30 Flex Hockey Stick ā 2026 is engineered for competitive young players who demand deceptive shot release, precise puck control, and responsive performance. Built for the speed of modern hockey, the Project X GLITCH introduces an innovative approach to shooting, allowing players to disguise their intentions and release the puck before defenders or goaltenders can react. Designed around the concept of āDisguise the Shot,ā this advanced stick helps developing players create scoring opportunities through timing, misdirection, and quick-release shooting.
Featuring TRUE's innovative SYNTAX Geometry, the Project X GLITCH uses a unique alternating concave and convex shaft profile designed to naturally stabilize both hands while allowing the bottom hand to load and release the stick efficiently. This Hands-First Geometry helps players maintain consistent hand positioning when passing or shooting, reducing visible changes in their setup and making it more difficult for opponents to anticipate their next move. The 30 Flex shaft offers a more flexible option for junior players developing the strength and technique needed to load their stick effectively.
Combining a Mid-Kick Dual-Zone Profile, Low-Kick Response, and Tactile Grip Interface, the TRUE Project X GLITCH delivers quick loading, consistent energy transfer, and confident stick control under pressure. Whether shooting in stride, releasing the puck through traffic, or creating scoring opportunities in tight spaces, the TRUE Project X GLITCH Junior 30 Flex Hockey Stick is built for young players who want to shoot without warning, control the pace, and keep opponents guessing.
