Selecting a Field Hockey Stick

Stick Rake and Bow Limitations

From TK to Talon, from Penn Monto to Mohinder, from Grays to Gryphon, there's a field hockey stick for everyone. But while selecting the right stick is eventually a matter of personal preference.

Balance & Weight

Get a "feel" for the stick. It should be well balanced and feel comfortable in your hands. Depending on your preference, the weight may be evenly distributed throughout the length of the stick or concentrated in the stick's toe or head. The weight in the toe should not be so much as to limit your stick speed when playing the ball.

 

Length of Stick

While the length of the stick is often determined by height, players often select the longest stick they can handle comfortably.
