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

What are the benefits for using a wooden field hockey stick?
Most of the benefits are associated with the weight; they are more stable when trapping or deflecting a ball, and the hit may or not be harder with a wooden stick (as compared to a composite or woodcore). However, this part is much a matter of taste and personal opinion. Additionally, they are often quite cheaper than other types, and thus good for a beginner or younger player. If possible, try out several of both types and see what you like better.
