WHAT SIZE STICK DO I NEED?


As children grow, their sticks will need to grow with them. Check this handy guide or visit us in‑store if you can.

Pro‑Tip: Try not to get tempted to buy a stick for your child to grow into. Smaller sticks help improve ball control and dribbling.

IS CARBON % IMPORTANT?


More carbon = More power, but it can mean less control without the right level of strength and skill. The right balance of power and control for your child's level will help their continued development. With higher carbon levels, players need greater strength and skill to maintain good control.

It's important for a stick to match your child's skill level. For most junior players, we recommend 0‑30% Carbon—starting with a lower level and working their way up as they progress. There are also composite sticks without carbon that serve as a fantastic bridge for young players as they develop.

DOES MY CHILD NEED A TOP-OF-THE-RANGE STICK?


In short – no. The top‑end sticks can often hinder basic skill development due to their rigidity. High‑end sticks are more suited to juniors who have great all‑round skills and want to extend them further.

If your child is still a developing player, a wooden or fiberglass stick could still be the way to go.
