Why are composite hockey sticks better?
Composite sticks are more popular than wood sticks because of their light weight and durability. They also provide more power and flexibility for faster shots. Professional hockey players, like those in the NFL, tend to use composite sticks. However, if you prefer using a wood stick, those are available as well.
Do composite hockey sticks break?
Hockey sticks are more susceptible to breaking with the more stress they experience. Hitting the pucks, the baseboards, and more will slowly wear the stick down.
Can I use a composite hockey stick on the street?
Composite materials tend to break more easily on concrete surfaces, so it is not recommended to use on the street. For street hockey, choose a street hockey stick made with tough ABS plastic material.
How do I know which size composite stick to buy?
The composite stick you choose should reach the tip of your nose when you’re on the ice and the blade is touching the floor. Hockey sticks come in youth, junior, intermediate, and senior sizes that take into consideration age group, height, weight, flex, and stick length.
