Sports Hockey stick

Product Details

• Structure: It consists of a long, straight handle called the shaft and a curved or flattened end known as the blade.
• Shape: The blade is often shaped like the letter "J" in field hockey, while in ice hockey, it is more angled to help with puck control.
• Materials: Traditionally made from wood (like mulberry or ash), modern professional sticks are now made from lightweight composite materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aramid.
• Function: Players use the stick to dribble the ball, make passes to teammates, and strike it toward the opponent's goal to score.
• Variations:
  • Ice Hockey Sticks: Longer, with a curved blade and specific "flex" (stiffness) levels to help with powerful shots.
  • Field Hockey Sticks: Shorter with a thicker blade, used specifically for moving a hard ball on grass or turf.

• Butt End: The top part of the handle where players often wrap tape for a better grip.
• Heel and Toe: The back and front parts of the curved blade.
• Flex: How much the stick bends when a player shoots; more flex can help propel the puck faster.
