Core Technologies: 

Increased Handle Durability 

• Different to our ASERIES ‘20 collection, the CATALYST ‘21 family features an improved rounded corner shaft, and when combined with our new steeper shoulder angle from paddle to handle, offers ultimate feel and added grip while stickhandling. 

Optimized Impact Strength 

• All-new PLD, Precision Laminate Design, optimizes the angles of carbon fiber layers throughout the shaft, increasing impact strength and offering optimal stiffness while reducing weight. 

Improved Paddle Weight 

• By incorporating lightweight braided aramid sleeves throughout the paddle, blade, and heel, we’ve designed an improved braided rib system, BAT, which provides a damped feel, and optimized balance and durability throughout play. 

Redesigned Flex Zone

• The redesigned, higher flex zone within the CATALYST ‘21 paddle is optimized for easier, faster loading times and more powerful passes while clearing shots.
