On the senior TRUE Project X GLITCH goalie stick, the shape of the grip changes just above the paddle. TRUE’s product sheet shows a raised area for the fingers and a recess for the thumb. The manufacturer says the contour is meant to sit naturally in the hand, with less need to reposition the grip. The Hockey Shop’s November 1 breakdown locates that shaping at the top of the paddle and around the shoulder.

How it differs from the Catalyst NITRO

Both senior goalie sticks carry TRUE’s INVRT name. TRUE describes the GLITCH’s kick profile as tuned for controlled puck movement, while its Catalyst NITRO sheet specifies a four-point INVRT profile with VSS vibration suppression in the paddle. The clearest difference in the published specifications is at the grip. TRUE lists a square shaft and standard shoulder on the Catalyst NITRO, while the GLITCH’s product sheet shows the raised grip and thumb recess. That makes the shoulder shape a point of comparison even when the two sticks are configured with the same curve and paddle length.

Senior sizes and prices

On November 8, TRUE listed the senior GLITCH at CA$429.99 in Canada and US$359.99 in the United States. Both storefronts listed the T31 curve with 24-, 25-, 26- and 27-inch paddles in Left and Full Right. Their variant data marked both 27-inch configurations available. The three shorter paddle lengths were listed as options, with neither hand marked available on either TRUE storefront at the time of the check. On the U.S. storefront, the senior Catalyst NITRO in the comparable left-handed, 27-inch T31 configuration was listed as available at US$339.99.
