What are the benefits of using a wooden hockey stick over a composite hockey stick?

Answer 1

Despite the fact that the integrity of the composite stick can be compromised with even minor nicks and cuts, most players choose them over wood because of their light weight and superior amount of flexibility the sticks provide which allows for greatly enhanced puck action. Composite sticks are also much more expensive.

Answer 2

Weight; composites are far lighter than wooden or woodcore sticks and for some positions, this is better. Even then, it is still a preference. Other than this, there are just as many people in favour of each; each is claimed to break easier, vibrate more, wear down faster, feel unresponsive, etc.

Answer 3

Some players get a better feel for the puck

also if you take alot of snapshots and slapshots the sticks kick point will be where your lower hand is placed which will result in a more accurate shot, personally i find you can get more power out of a good wooden stick, I recommend a sherwood pmp 9500 if youre looking around

Answer 4

lighter weight and can flex and can add power to your shot basicly the same thing i would prefer the feel of a composite though

Answer 5

Wooden sticks are made out of wood and composites are fiberglass. Also, composites are one piece and wooden sticks can sometimes be two piece.
