FIELD HOCKEY STICK LEVELS |
We divide our sticks into 4 player levels, to help narrow down the
selection for you, since we carry many choices and brands. Remember,
just because you buy an Elite stick, it won’t make you an elite player,
in fact, it may be just the opposite. Greater skill is usually required
to successfully play with higher level stick. It is best to choose
a stick that fits your playing ability rather than buying the best and
most expensive stick. Use the following categories as a guide:
|
ELITE |
Elite sticks are made with a high content of carbon that give them
extreme power. These sticks take a high level of skill and
experience to control the ball while receiving and dribbling.

ADVANCED |
Advanced sticks still have lots of power, but they are a little more
forgiving than some of the elite sticks.

COMPETITIVE |
Competitive sticks are the do-it-all stick. These sticks offer
good control and forgiveness while still providing plenty of power.

BEGINNER / YOUTH |
These sticks are designed to provide more forgiveness to help
players develop their skills. Many beginner sticks are made out of
wood which provides the best control and feel.
