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.

- Ideal for professional, college and advanced high school players

COMPARE ALL ELITE STICKS >
ADVANCED
Advanced sticks still have lots of power, but they are a little more forgiving than some of the elite sticks.

- Ideal for college and advanced high school players

COMPARE ALL ADVANCED STICKS >
COMPETITIVE
Competitive sticks are the do-it-all stick.  These sticks offer good control and forgiveness while still providing plenty of power.

- Ideal for college, high school and high performing middle school players

COMPARE ALL COMPETITIVE STICKS >
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.
