Nike Hockey Sticks
For the most part, playing with any hockey stick is a matter of personal choice and feel. One of the most important aspects of purchasing a stick is the angle. You want the bottom of the blade to lay along the ice when you're in playing position. You might want to wear your skates or stand on a box to check this position when trying out sticks. You do not want the heel or the toe to be off the ground. The curve of the blade on your hockey sticks plays an important role in how the puck responds on passes and shots. The less curve on a stick, the more control you have over the puck and the easier it is to make backhanded passes. Stick curve position refers to the area of the stick with the most concentrated curve—toe, middle or heel. The sticks lie determines how high shots will fly. Guidelines for Nike Hockey Sticks
Nike Bauer makes hockey sticks for all types of players, whether you most want precision, power or all-around performance. Choose a flex that is roughly equal to half your body weight. If you weigh 180 pounds, a 90 flex stick should be flexible enough for you to bend and stiff enough to deliver a powerful shot. Smaller players and novices will want sticks with more flex, shown by a lower flex number. At Hockey Empire, we keep a number of Nike Bauer hockey sticks in stock for you.
