Curved, light-weight hockey sticks are the best.
Better for what? A stick's weight is really a personal preference, as lighter ones are more suitable for dribbling and other skills where a heavier stick is more useful for hitting.
Hockey sticks can be classified as such because the force is between the fulcrum (wrist/elbow/shoulder) and the load (weight of the stick/ball).
Some scientific advances in hockey sticks include the use of advanced materials such as carbon fiber or graphite to improve strength and flexibility, as well as the optimization of stick design for better performance and control. Additionally, there have been advancements in technologies like computer simulations and data analysis to enhance stick performance and player feedback.
Composite sticks are sports equipment, primarily used in field hockey, lacrosse, and ice hockey, made from a combination of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar. This composite construction allows for enhanced durability, lighter weight, and improved performance compared to traditional wooden sticks. The design often aims to optimize flexibility and power, making them popular among athletes at various skill levels. Additionally, composite sticks can provide better shock absorption and control during gameplay.
A field hockey bat is commonly referred to as a "field hockey stick." It is designed with a curved blade to help players dribble, pass, and shoot the ball effectively. The stick's length and weight can vary based on player preference and position.
It all depends on the stick that you buy. There are wooden sticks and composite sticks. The Wooden sticks are much heavier than composite sticks so most goalies prefer composite. Usually the Composite sticks are about 600 to 700 grams.
Ranges from stick to stick, and depends on the material type used for the stick. The composite sticks will be lighter due to their hollow core. Wood sticks are solid alll the way through which makes them heavier. Hope that helps.
Too many to list.There would be upwards of 50 hockey stick suppliers around the world. Each has several lines (taken to mean between 5 and 10, depending on the size and focus of the company), and each line usually has between 5 and 10 sticks - some with many more. Besides this, there are extras like goalkeeping sticks, of which most companies make two or three (on average) and choices in stick such as length and weight, and for ice hockey the curve as well. Basically, you are looking at ten thousand sticks in total.

Depends on the design of the bridge, and how the sticks are joined. In theory I could build a bridge of popsicle sticks that would support several tons of weight- but it would take a LOT of popsicle sticks.
