What is the bow of a field hockey stick?

Answer 1

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.
