Adult field hockey stick mid bow 30% carbon FH530 black white

Description

Designed for adults, intermediate level, looking for a fairly straight curve (mid bow) combined with limited stiffness from a low carbon percentage (30 %) Composition 30 % carbon, 65 % fibreglass and 5 % aramid Curve and weight Mid bow; maximum curve point: 300 mm; maximum curve height: 24 mm; Weight: 540 g +/- 20 g; balance point 390 mm at 36.5" Detailed product description 12K 800 tex carbon fibre of Japanese origin (Toho Tenex) and 1080 tex fibreglass superimposed. Hollow structure with 2 channels. Aramid on the blade. Refined shaft for good grip and handling. 45° blade, good handling. Blade and toe refined for better handling. 1 mm ethylene-vinyl acetate (PE-EVA) foam under the grip to absorb vibrations. Grip with polyurethane (PU) studs 1.8 mm thick for a good grip. Handle length: 42 cm. Detailed product description (continued) Total handle diameter 31 mm, good grip. Width and perimeter of the 47 cm shaft from the plug: 3.7 cm / 10 cm. What materials are the sticks made of? Although historically most sticks were made of wood (ash, mulberry), currently sticks (especially the more technical ones) are made of composite materials (fibreglass, carbon and aramid; NB Kevlar is the brand name for a type of aramid). We can find 100 % wood sticks, wood with fibreglass and sometimes carbon reinforcements, 100 % fibreglass, fibreglass with a higher percentage of carbon What materials are the sticks made of? (continued) (often with 5-10 % aramid when the carbon percentage is very high). What are the performance qualities of each component? Fibreglass is harder, stiffer, lighter and more abrasion-resistant than wood. Therefore, it will have more power and less control, a feeling of greater hardness. Carbon is even lighter and stiffer, providing more power and less control if the skill level is not adequate. Aramid is used as a complement to carbon in the shaft to dampen vibrations and/or on the heel due to its high abrasion resistance. How is a composite material stick manufactured? A composite material stick is composed of several sheets of fibre wrapped around a hollow core, distributed in turn into one or more longitudinal cavities. The mixture of components, the number of fibre layers and the structure of the hollow core are different in each part of the stick and in each stick. The mere indication of the % of carbon provides very little information about the performance qualities. Which composition to choose?
