Advantages: Great for hitting, close control and lifting Disadvantages: Price is quite high
I have been playing hockey for a considerable number of years now and i gaced a tough decision when I decided i needed a new stick this season.
The last stick i bought was a very good stick and was very expensive as it cost me over £200, however its durability was very poor.
After doing some research on the internet i found the Grays O tech stick, with new technology that channeled the energy of the hit down to the ball because of the holes in the isde of the stick. They also decrease air resistance so that the swing can increase its speed. In my opinion you cannot argue with the technology behind this stick and i was thoroughly convinced. My local sports shop had one of these sticks in stock and i got to have a feel of the stick with a ball. I found the stick to have a great feel to it and it is very responsive. The only problem was ...

a degree of bend in the stick between the handle and the hook. The larger the bend in a hockey stick, the more power and control you will have over the ball. Although there is a limit of how large a bend you are allowed to have. Your stick is allowed to have a 25mm bend in it, but any higher and the stick becomes illegal, and you will not be able to play with it at a professional level, because the amount of power you can get with an illegal stick if you are really good is deadly! And finally the last feature is the handle. The handle is really just a cylinder piece of wood, much like a cricket bat handle only thinner. There are many different varieties of handle grips you can get, from many brands. A very popular brand with hockey players is Grays. Grays make a lot of different type and style of hockey sticks, ranging in price. But there are ...
