To choose the right hockey stick, you need to take into account not only the player's height, but also his role: striker or defender, as well as a number of other parameters. Special sticks are made for goalkeepers. It is of great importance how it is more convenient for a person to hold a sports equipment - this is called a grip, it can be left and right. The hook will be bent in a convenient direction. The material from which the stick is made is of great importance.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the length of your club based on the player's height. If you put it upright, then the handle should be approximately between the nose and chin. This measurement is made without taking into account the height of the skates, according to the usual height of a person.
Step 2
If you have chosen a club that fits all parameters, but it is a little longer than necessary, then simply file it down so that it becomes a perfect fit for the person's height. Still, try to choose a shell that suits the hockey player as much as possible, since if you cut off a part of the handle, then its rigidity increases. This parameter affects the game characteristics.
Step 3
Choose a stick in accordance with the grip that the hockey player plays - it can be left or right, depending on which hand the owner of the club has lower. If a person has never played and does not know his grip, for example, if you are buying a golf club for a child, then in order to determine it, ask the hockey player to take a mop with both hands. The hand on the bottom determines the side of the grip.
Step 4
An essential consideration when choosing a club is the shape of the hook bend. If the club is chosen for a child, then you can buy the very first one even without a bend at all. So quickly it will become clear which hand is more convenient for him to play, and also, there will be time to wait until the child himself decides on his role. The bend determines many technical aspects: dribbling, shooting, passing the puck. Depending on the technique, athletes choose a bend for themselves, guided by their preferred playing style.
Step 5
In addition to size, the material from which it is made plays an important role in choosing a comfortable club. There are wooden models, plastic and carbon fiber. The most expensive and high-quality ones are made of composite materials. Such a projectile is distinguished by high durability and constant playing characteristics. Composite golf clubs have only one drawback: they are very expensive.
