How do you measure the bow on a field hockey stick?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A series of graded cylinders or triangular prisms is used. Each is inserted under the stick in turn, until a larger grade cannot fit. The largest grade that does is the bow of the stick.

Answer 3

The size of a stick should be 15cm wide
