Choosing The Best Hockey Sticks For You

By Adriana Noton


Hockey sticks can be purchased in a number of different places. They come in an assortment of sizes, types and materials. The two main categories are senior and junior sticks. Be sure that which ever type you choose you are comfortable.

One of the first things that has to be considered is the size of the stick. A junior hockey stick is between 46 and 54 inches in length. A senior stick on the other hand is between 56 and 62 inches long. A longer stick will give off powerful hits while a shorter stick on the other hand makes for better control.

The stiffness of this item is also very important when choosing the one that is right for you. One that is only medium stiff or even looser is superb for snap shots and wrist shots. Those that are stiffer handle the puck better and are the best choice for face-offs. Every person will prefer a different type and while some like a lighter one others will enjoy a stiffer one.

This items comes in a number of different materials. Each one looks different and has a different weight, texture and style. They all also have their own set of pros and cons. Some types are fiberglass, titanium, wood, graphite and aluminum. Each one has characteristics that vary.

Wood is one of the main material types used with this item. This material makes the stick very heavy as well as stiff. This type is great for players with a lot of strength who need to be able to use force. The biggest issue with this material type is that they generally break easier than other types.

Fiberglass is another common material that you will find in this product. This material breaks easily as well. These sticks have a wooden core on the inside and are coated in fiberglass. They are not good for playing real hockey but for practice instead. Two other types are titanium and kevlar. They are both very expensive but are great for game play. They are light weight and highly durable.

You can get this item at a lot of different places. The main place however is any type of sporting goods store. You can find these stores all over the place in your area. They can be found through the yellow pages as well as with the internet. After searching online you can then put together a large list of stores to check out and compare prices. Aside from stores in the area you can also use the internet to buy this item.
