TRUE A1.0 SBP Hockey Stick features a squared corner, double concave shaft shape in addition to the matte grip and matte finish on the hosel. Braided Rib Technology (BRT+) extends the braided rib structure into the heel for durability as well as for reducing wall thickness for a more responsive stick. Also featured in the A1.0 SBP is Axenic Technology. The one-piece compression molded shaft when combined with BRT provides a balanced feel. The Smartply technology helps provide strength with up to 25 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber laminate design for performance and to maximize strength.
