TRON Hockey Sticks - Light on the scale, light on the budget

With our Tron Elite Anchor hockey stick being a dead ringer for a Total One and the 405XS doing a great job of mimicking the Easton RS look, we have been hit with much feedback about the looks we chose for our sticks, most positive, but some negative.  Some people don't see why we would mimic the looks of our competitors, saying we have no originality to design something new and different.  And while that is one way of looking at the picture, consider the way we look at it here at HockeyTron.

We spend a lot of time talking about sticks like the Total One and the RS because we realize an important point:  You don't get to the be the best in the business by making products that aren’t pushing the envelope more or constantly raising the bar.  Bauer is the company it is because they have a loyal following of people that come to expect a certain quality of product bearing the Bauer logo on it.  And indeed, you can't deny that Bauer is a frontrunner in the industry.  The same goes for Easton:  Their sticks have long been considered to be at the edge of the engineering and development available today.

So when you want to be the best, you aim for the best.  And you don't just match the best, you beat it.. surpass it in all aspects.  And that's where TRON Hockey comes in.

Did you know that once we receive our 100K stick at the end of the summer, TRON hockey will have the 3 lightest sticks in the ENTIRE industry?  The Elite Anchor and the 405XS both flirt so closely to the 400 grams mark, they are easily the lightest sticks available.  And the 100k is expected to come in at around 415 grams and one of very few True one piece sticks.  Compare this to the lightest stick available by Bauer right now, the Vapor APX, which is 420grams at standard length.  The Nexus 1000 is going to ring up pretty close to the 420grams mark as well.  The Total One weigh in at 425 grams.  The Easton Stealth RS weighs around 440grams at standard length.

Unfortunately, we have all paid the expensive lesson of knowing that shaving off those precious grams of weight seems to drive the price skyward at a pretty alarming rate.  And that's where TRON sticks truly shine brighter than anything available to anyone from anywhere, bar none!  You would absolutely flip to see a Total One or a RS retailing for $129.99 (That's a little more than half their full retail price), and with good reason!  High quality items deserve their price tags at times, but really, if I showed you an RS and a 405XS, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two whether you were blindfolded or not.  And once I tell you one goes for $130 and one goes for $240, I think many people would choose to walk out with 2 405XS sticks for nearly the same price you'd leave our store with a single Easton RS. 

All we wanted to show was that there is no longer a reason to wring a customer’s neck over a pro-level stick.  And with a nearly identical look, Bauer and Easton both have very little justification for the eventual retail markup the stick endures if we can pretty much do the same exact thing at half the price.  So what some feel we lack in originality, we hope that more people will enjoy our very blunt attitude towards proving to customers that ridiculous prices for hockey gear is a thing of the past now that HockeyTron is on the scene. 

One additional note:  Besides the 405XS, Elite Anchor and the 100K we will be adding the Heat APS and the X19 this fall.

TRON Goalie Gear - Now blocking a shot near you!

After MUCH anticipation and countless e-mails and phone calls about when these products will finally hit the sales floor, we are very happy to announce the official debut of the TRON Mega Pro Goalie Pad series!

And what a debut it has been!  When we initially started allowing the pre-order of the goalie pad sets, we offered an amazing, absolutely unprecedented deal:  You could preorder the entire 4 pieces of the set (Chest Protector, Glove, Blocker, and Leg Pads) at the mind-blowing price of $700.  That kind of money won't even get you comparable level Reebok or Vaughn goal pads ALONE, which can retail for upwards of $1500.  And when you consider that the $700 you spend at HockeyTron is ALSO getting you a pro-level chest protector, glove, and blocker, it’s an absolute no brainer.

Many of you agreed.  So much so, in fact, that almost half of our stock of the various goalie equipment is already accounted for through pre-orders from retailers, customers, even our own employees!  And as we got the news that the arrival of the equipment was today, we cleared a large section of our retail floor to display these awesome pieces of protection, as well as set aside a lot of room in our warehouse to fulfill the pre-orders of the customers that have been so incredibly patient as we fielded what just seemed like one delay after the next.  Yet with the strength of our other products being as good as they are, we found many people were more than willing to wait patiently with us to see what kind of products TRON was going to bring to the table for the often overlooked position.  While we always had the sample pair to show what was coming, having the true finished products in stock is extremely exciting.

With the TRON Chest Protector, Goalie Glove, Blocker, and Leg Pads all looking extremely well put together and meticulously crafted, we know that once the word spreads around that you are looking at a premier deal for high quality merchandise, goalies everywhere will take notice, and there will be absolutely no reason to go anywhere else or choose any other brands.  HockeyTron has arrived on the goalie scene, and we are making a huge splash that will be noticed by players, retailers, and manufacturers alike.

 So spread the word for us, and leave us feedback and comments regarding the products you try!  The better HockeyTron continues to do, the more we can develop new products to match what you, the customers and players, want to see out of their equipment.  It will also allow us to continue to keep prices at a level so unrivaled that baffles retailers and manufacturers both.  It baffles the customers too... but we tend to enjoy hearing someone saying they have no idea how they are walking away with the quality they have at the price they paid.  That's where HockeyTron wants to put itself now, and will continue to be in the future.

Tron Hockey Visors - trying one for yourself is truly the best way to see just how much money you can save.

You want the best features in everything that you buy.  It only makes sense.  You obviously want to get the most out of the money you’re earning.  So you might do a little research, shop around a little bit, see what costs how much and what it offers to you.

So say you’re shopping around for a new visor.  Most hockey players are really only looking for 2 major features in a half shield.  They don’t want it to fog up on them while they are playing, as that’s a tedious task to wipe them shift to shift, and they don’t want it to get scratched up as they are playing or as its traveling around in the bag after the game.  So when you see something like this...

It seems pretty obvious what the best option here is considering the main components you’re looking for.  So what is the mystery visor that offers so much at so little?

None other than the TRON S30 Hockey Visor!  And with over 5000 of our half shields sold and shipped to every state in the US and many countries around the world, people in the hockey world are definitely taking notice.  And trying one for yourself is truly the best way to see just how much money you can save going with TRON products that give you everything you want at prices that are almost unheard of.

TRON S30 Anti Scratch/Anti Fog Senior Hockey Visor

As our stock of our great visor kept dwindling away, we ordered many more of our clear models and decided to offer a new option for those who wanted a brand new perspective, the TRON S30T Visor.

TRON S30S Smoke Visor Arrives July 20th

TRON S40 Senior Hockey Visor Arrives August 20th

TRON S40T Tinted Visor Arrives August 20th

In every respect as brilliant as its clear counter counterpart, the tinted model works almost as a pair of sunglasses do:  It dims down the brightness that many hockey players have found to be much more appealing to both their eyesight and overall look.  This is all at only $24.99, and when you consider that you pay 2.5 times that to get an Oakley visor that has the same features and carries the same look, you could buy a couple of these if you have more than one helmet, or as a gift for a buddy on your team with an old beat up one.  

 

We will also have another style of hockey visor available towards the end of summer, the TRON S40 ($24.99) and S40T ($29.99) visor.  It will have all the usual anti-scratch and anti-fog materials you’ve come to expect from the S30 model, but the S40 models will come in an entirely new cut than our current 3 models.  The cut on the S40 will leave for an absolutely distortion free line of vision all around, and the polycarbonate make-up is incredibly resilient to scratches, breaks, and cracks.  The S40 visor also carriers a CE certification to insure its safety specifications.

All things considered, whether you like a crystal clear or tinted shade for eyes, it’s easy to see the obvious choice for a half-shield is a TRON model!  Check out the Reviews!
