Everything you need to know about Hockey Sticks

Have questions about ice hockey sticks? You’re likely to find the answer here!

What is the ideal length for a hockey stick?

The ideal length of a hockey stick is usually between a player’s nose and chin. This length provides the best balance and allows the player to achieve maximum control and stability when controlling the puck. However, preferred stick lengths can vary greatly depending on individual playing styles. Offensive players usually choose a shorter stick for better control, while defensive players tend to favour a longer stick to extend their defensive range.

What type of blade curvature is best for ball hockey sticks?

Choosing the curvature of the blade of a hockey stick depends largely on personal preference and style of play. A more curved blade provides better control and helps with picking the puck, which is helpful for forwards and offensive players. In contrast, a less curved blade provides greater passing accuracy and a smoother pass, which is usually preferred by defensive players.

How does the weight of a hockey stick affect performance?

The weight of a hockey stick plays a key role in a player’s performance. A lighter stick is easier to manoeuvre quickly and hits the puck faster, which is good for offensive players who need to make quick decisions and moves. For example, our INNER HOCKEY stick weighs only 325 grams! Heavier sticks provide more power and consistency, and are often preferred by defence players to enhance their defensive strategy.

What materials are used to make high-performance ice hockey sticks?

High-performance hockey sticks are often made from carbon fibre or other advanced composite materials. For example, all our sticks are 100% carbon fibre. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability and light weight. They are designed to provide superior performance, including faster speed, better puck control and longer life.

What is the difference between a wood and composite hockey stick?

Wood and carbon composite hockey sticks each have their advantages. Wooden sticks are the traditional choice and are known for being affordable and having a good feel on the stick. On the other hand, CCM BAURE sticks are made from carbon fibre. They are lighter in weight and offer more flexibility options. These sticks are designed for performance, allowing for faster ball speed and better ball control, but tend to be more expensive than wood sticks. All of our INNER sticks are carbon fibre hockey sticks.

How do I choose the right flex for my hockey stick?

Choosing the right elasticity for your hockey stick is essential for optimal performance. Elasticity refers to the degree to which the stick bends when force is applied. Lower values indicate a stiffer stick, while higher values indicate better flexibility. Ideal flexibility depends on a number of factors, including individual playing style, field position and weight, and INNER HOCKEY is available in a variety of flexibility options: youth, intermediate and adult. In conclusion, it is important to consider your playing style and field position when choosing a specific flex. Ask us for details!

What is the difference between a mid-kick and low-kick hockey stick?

The difference between mid and low point hockey sticks is the location of the stick’s flex point, which directly affects the speed and power of the shot. A mid-bend stick bends closer to the centre of the stick, which generates more power and is ideal for hitting powerful draws and one-timers. In contrast, a low flex point stick bends closer to the blade, which allows for faster ball speeds and is ideal for quick wrist shots and flick shots.

How do I properly tape my ball hockey stick?

Wrapping and taping the hockey stick enhances grip and control, but keep in mind that it is not necessary to wrap around the bottom of the blade face. Starting at the root of the blade face, wrap the tape towards the tip, covering the top of the blade face. The key is to make sure the flat part of the blade face is completely covered.

How does the length of a ball hockey stick affect stickhandling?

The length of a hockey stick has a significant impact on puck control. A longer stick gives the player a greater range of control and an advantage when shooting, but may have difficulty with dexterity and quick changes of direction. View our other page for more information!
