I heard rumors that some sticks in North America are not passing the bow measurement tests?
The past couple of years have seen increases in the bows of sticks from the traditional 16mm up to 48mm in the most extreme case! This has all changed again as the FIH have set a limit on the bend allowed to 25mm. You can be ensured that no stick purchased from Mantis Hockey has a bow over the 25mm threshold, with most of our sticks falling between 20mm-23mm in bow. Why are some sticks more expensive than others? Cheaper sticks may only be reinforced with fibreglass, whereas the more expensive sticks will have strips of carbon coating the shaft giving increased stiffness and power. In addition, Kevlar or Aramide may be added to dampen vibrations. The cost of composite sticks is directly proportional to the percentage of carbon making up the stick. The more you pay, the more carbon is in the stick, making it stiffer, resulting in increased striking power. Can I get a different (or an additional) grip put onto a stick purchased? Unfortunately we cannot put different grips onto sticks bef
