The stick is the most important hockey attribute. The clubs are divided into professional, semi-professional and amateur. The latter are often made from plywood, they are cheap, but they break often. The first and the second are already made of light and durable types of wood, covered with a special coating of carbon fiber for strength. How to choose a golf club for yourself? Let's return to this question after a short history course.
Instructions
Step 1
Previously, golf clubs consisted of a wooden handle and a hook that was bent at a certain angle and did not have any roundings. Many hockey players have hand-shaped these sticks. But these clubs were fragile and broke from sudden movements and blows.
Step 2
Today, other requirements are imposed on hockey sticks. One of them is balance. When choosing the right club for yourself, pay special attention to this parameter. When connected to the handle, the hook should not outweigh, otherwise it will be difficult to control the stick.
Step 3
Elasticity also needs to be looked at. Good golf clubs now have special areas on the handle. Clicking on these zones allows the hockey player to achieve the greatest strength and accuracy of the shot. Thus, different parts of the grip work in different modes. When choosing your golf club, try bending it. The stick should not bend in the same way in all places. Due to the different materials of the stick, the bend should be non-uniform. As you go down towards the hook, the handle becomes thinner. A stick like this makes it easier for you to control the puck and your shots.
Step 4
Despite many changes, the stick is still the most frequently broken hockey stick. So take your time in choosing it. The stick should match your hook curvature and length. The optimal length of the club is up to the nose of a person standing in ordinary shoes.
Step 5
If you can't find a stick that won't slide at all in your hand, don't worry. The handle can be wrapped along its entire length with non-slip electrical tape in any place convenient for you.
Step 6
If you are choosing a golf club for your child, consider the following: adults do not match the child's height with the golf club, so you do not need to take them. In addition, you should buy a straight hook for your child, especially if they are just starting to play hockey. Then your child will have the time and opportunity to decide on the grip.
