Hockey Repair Shop www.hockeyrepairshop.com 386 41277 923 info@hockeyrepairshop.com Understanding the Types of Hockey Sticks Hockey sticks generally fall into two categories: wooden sticks and composite sticks . Wooden sticks are traditional, providing a natural feel and solid durability at a lower cost. However, composite sticks—made from materials like carbon fiber—are lighter, more flexible, and designed to enhance puck control and shot speed. At Hockey Repair Shop, we carry a wide range of both types to suit every player’s preference. Choosing the Right Flex Flex refers to how much a stick bends when pressure is applied. It significantly affects your shot power and accuracy. Lower flex sticks are ideal for younger players or those with less strength, as they bend more easily, providing added power. Higher flex sticks suit stronger players, offering more control and stability for precise shots. Knowing your body strength and playing style is key to selecting the right flex. Finding the Ideal Curve The blade curve influences puck handling, passing, and shooting. A deeper curve can help with quick wrist shots and lifting the puck, while a straighter blade offers better control and accuracy for passing. At Hockey Repair Shop, our experts can help you choose a curve that complements your position—whether you’re a forward, defenseman, or goalie. Considering Stick Length Stick length affects your posture, control, and overall comfort on the ice. A stick that’s too long or too short can hinder your game. A simple rule of thumb: when standing in skates, the stick should reach between your chin and nose. Visiting Hockey Repair Shop allows you to test different lengths to find the perfect fit. Durability and Quality Top-quality hockey sticks are an investment.
