Mercian Evolution CKF85 Pro Bend Hockey Stick - CKF85

No. The 85% carbon content makes the stick very stiff, which can be unforgiving for beginners. It is better suited for intermediate to elite players.

The Pro Bend offers a balance between hitting power and ball handling, making it ideal for players who want to maintain control during technical skills.

It actively converts kinetic energy from vibrations into electrical energy, which helps dissipate the jarring feedback typically felt in stiff carbon sticks.

This stick is designed primarily for field hockey (outdoor). Using it on indoor surfaces may result in accelerated wear or surface damage.

While durable, the friction finish will naturally diminish over time due to abrasive surface contact. Proper cleaning helps maintain its efficacy.

Ensure you are gripping the stick firmly but not over-tensing; check that your grip tape is wrapped correctly to add a layer of cushioning.

Clean the head thoroughly with warm water and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that fills the micro-texture of the friction finish.
