Carbon Content & Power

More carbon = more stiffness = more power.

• 90–100% carbon: Suits advanced players who have refined technique and want maximum power transfer.
• 30–70% carbon: Ideal for developing players who value feel and control while improving precision.
• Below 30%: Great for beginners, offering forgiveness and feedback when learning core skills.

Bow Shape

• Low Bow: Perfect for 3D skills and drag flicks. The curve helps lift and flick with ease.
• Mid Bow: Balanced for general play — ideal for midfielders focusing on passing and control.
• Pro Bow: Favoured by elite forwards for quick releases and deceptive slaps.

Weight & Balance

• Light sticks (≤520g): Designed for attackers needing quick stick speed, skill precision, and agile handling.
• Heavier sticks (530–560g): Offer more hitting power and stability — great for defenders and sweep hits.
• Balance point: A lower balance point (toward head) adds feel; a higher balance (toward handle) improves maneuverability.

FAQs

What stick size should I use?

Stand the stick beside your leg — it should reach just below your hip bone. Junior sticks start around 28–36", while adult sticks range 36.5–38.5".

How often should I replace a stick?

Typically once per year with regular play, or sooner if you notice cracks, stiffness loss, or reduced rebound feel on contact.
