CCM Ribcor Trigger 2 Hockey Stick features an optimized RibCor low kick point, an optimized vertical flex profile that allows players to move the puck with greater ease prior to the release. PopMatrix Technology with a re-engineered taper has been used in the construction. The new geometry offers a smooth transition area to maximize bending and and efficiently transfer stored energy. The Ascent Blade 3 profile features a tactile surface covering the hosel for a heightened feel and for added reinforcement to the heel and toe. The shaft has been engineered for performance, designed to optimize performance and minimize weight. Sigmatex materials are used in the construction, designed to be ultra-lightweight and extremely strong due to its high tension weaving process.
