Hockey Stick Guide
We pride ourselves on our customer service and ensuring that you are using the best products to suit you and your game. It's not always possible to get in and be seen by one of our awesome staff, so below are a few key pieces of information when shopping for hockey sticks online.
This is our recommendation only. Some players may prefer a size up or down as this is their personal choice. For juniors stick size should not exceed the belly button, the 'belly button rule' allows the player to grow into a stick without it hindering their development.

Measures around a 22mm to 24mm Bow at the 300mm point from the bottom of the stick. | The L-Bow (LB) is a LOW curve bow designed to make 3D skills easier such as aerials, passing and drag flicking. Measurements are normally a 24mm bow at the 250mm point from the bottom of the stick. | X-Bow (XB) is an XTREME bow that is ideal for the serious aerial game. Drag flicking, 3D Skills and aerials couldn’t be easier than with this bow shape.

Hook Information Guide
Maxi Head |
Semi Hook |
Full Hook |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| The most common among today’s sticks, the smaller, open head shape has less mass to move around. This allows for faster stick turnover when dribbling and allows for quicker snap shots. The 45° maxi curve also allows for more room along the shaft for reverse edge shots. The Maxi shape also has a slightly more open head shape in the Micro which sits at 50° | The Semi-Hook bending through at around 35° is a compromise between the Maxi and the Full Hook. It is a slight increase in surface area compared to the maxi allowing for greater ball control, especially on the reverse, as well as providing room for a larger sweet spot to help improve hitting accuracy and power. | The Full hook at 25° maximises surface area. Optimising ball control and basic skills especially helping on the reverse, the full hook head also gives room for a larger sweet spot for hitting accuracy and power whilst also acting like a paddle for overhead control. |
