Sticks were originally made of two parts spliced together (the head and the shaft) - the angle of the splice determined the bow, and was usually around 20mm. When composite sticks were introduced, manufacturers began experimenting with different bow sizes and they soon got out of control. One sideeffect of these extreme bows was an increase in the speed of a dragflick; the movement became more of a slingshot action than a flick. The FIH quickly restricted the bow to 50mm, but even then it was found to be excessive. The regulation was then dropped to 25mm and has remained there since.

What is the bow of a field hockey stick?
A late bow is used for increased ball control but mostly to aid in lifts, like flicks and aerial passes. A stick with a late bow is especially helpful when shooting a drag flick. Transitioning from a stick with a mid bow or little to no bow to a stick with a late bow can pose a challenge when it comes to hitting/driving the ball. However with practice, adjusting your hitting technique to the late bow in a stick is rather easy if you have a good hit to begin with. Sticks with late bows are best for forwards and mid-fielders that will be lifting the ball a lot.
How do you measure the bow on a field hockey stick?
There are a few minor restrictions on the dimensions of a stick, but the three that are mainly focused on are the width (the whole stick must be able to go through a ring with an internal diameter of 51mm), the length (most players have a stick between 35 and 38 inches long) and the bow (when the stick is played facedown on a flat surface), a prism or rod with a diameter of 25mm must not be able to pass under it at any point). There are various explanations of these regulations available at other questions on WA.
