What to consider when choosing the right hockey stick:
•Correct bending of the blade
• How the player holds the hockey stick
• Height of the player
• The length of the shaft (sticks)
•The hardness of the hockey stick
•Hockey stick wrap
Bending the floorball stick
The first step is to clarify which side of the floorball you are holding. It is not a rule that a right-hander has a right turn and vice versa. The key to choosing the right stick bend is the bottom hand when holding the stick. If your left hand is down, choose turn left . If you put your right hand lower, then bending the blade to the right is a suitable option for you . If you have a junior beginner at home and you are not sure which type will be the right one, choose a hockey stick with a straight blade.
The length of the hockey stick
The length of the floor ball is the most important parameter for an accurate and purposeful game. You need to know the player's height . The shaft (stick) and the blade must form an ideal 60° angle, which in short means that the floorball should be up to your navel .
The hardness of the hockey stick
It is also necessary to take into account the hardness of the stick (shaft). Hardness, or flex, is given in millimeters and determines how many mm the shaft bends under a load of 30 kg . It therefore applies that the higher the hardness number, the softer and more flexible the stick.
