Answer 1

Hollow plastic sticks are much too weak to get any strength on your shot.
Better to play with the wooden stick or a plastic blade on a wooden shaft. The benefits of the plastic blade are that it lasts pretty well forever and you can also bend the blade, with applied heat, to get any degree of curve you wish.

Answer 2

the answer isn't in the type of stick but in the type of blade and the surface you are playing on. The only difference between a wooden stick and a carbon composite shaft is that the carbon ones are lighter and are "less likely to break"

the blade is what is gonna be making more contact with the ground. wooden sticks are 1 piece sticks, while a composite stick can be a one or 2 piece stick. if you are going to use a composite stick, i would recommend a 2 piece with an outdoor blade made of a heavy plastic material. a one piece stick that goes for $100 is not worth it. the blade in a 2 piece stick is held in by hot glue, and can be removed with a hair dryer if you do not have a heat gun to warm up the shaft and glue.

If you are playing on a choppy cement pavement... the blades will wear down no matter what. this is the worst surface as far as durability is concerned. a blacktop surface is alot more like ice.. just add friction, the smoothness in it is gonna give longer life to your stick.

so if i had to choose one for street hockey... i would go with a wooden stick or a 2 piece blade. it all depends on your price range. you can get a decent wooden stick for $25 at any sporting good store. A lower end 2 piece can go for about $30-$50 which may or may not include the blade. the blade will probably go for about $20. a composite stick may be found in a sporting good store but you are better off getting it in a hockey pro shop to ensure quality and get a good opinion for you.

one last note... be careful with what kind of curve you get. chances are you are using a ball for street hockey. do not get a wicked curve for it. i recommend a flat curve actually. a ball will go up easily no matter what. if you use an outdoor puck i would recommend a lesser curve still, it is easier to lift a puck outdoors because of the surface and puck design.

i hope this is helpful for ya!

Answer 3

Except for the carbon or graphite sticks(or any other composite material) the wood and aluminum along with standard street hockey sticks all have fiberglass reinforced wood blades so from a blade standpoint it wont make a difference. because of cost you wouldnt want to use any form of composite stick. So the best thing to do is find whichever wood blade stick feels best for you and use it, feel is the most important thing when considering a stick.

Answer 4

ABS is your superb decision, the two on a usual wood stick (like on the Rbk 1K) or on a 2piece stick the place you alter the blades. FYI maximum ABS blades are a usual greater healthful so the two use a usual greater healthful shaft, or a composite 1piece stick the place you broke the blade, turn it, and insert blade on the different area. Carbonfibre is lots too skinny, hence cracks very directly and is not any longer on your funds. organic wood/fibreglass will delaminate relatively directly as nicely. in case you wanna pass previous college, get an all-plastic blade from Dollarama or comparable shop and screw on2 a broken wood stick (after sawing off what's left of the blade needless to say) yet they are blade heavy and not very stable regardless of an off-ice %.. you could create a enormously insane curve with them nonetheless ..

Answer 5

You can buy street hockey blades at Home Hardware,Canadian Tire etc. that are the best on the street. They last the longest,don't stick to the pavement and won't cost you a weeks salary like a graphite stick. Put them in a graphite or aluminum shaft and you are good to go(with a little funky cold medina)

Answer 6

The Wooden ones will last longer but the fiberglass (The ones the pros use) can have the blade replaced but its expensive

Answer 7

buy a stick that will let you change the blade-use fiberglass or a composite blade-wood is not good for street
