Youth sticks are for the youngest players, typically younger than 7 years old, with heights under 4'5" and weights under 74 pounds.
Hybrid kickpoint sticks offer flexibility, combining aspects of both low and mid kickpoints. This is typically achieved with a dual flex profile or with a larger flex area, providing adaptability for different play styles.
Heel curves are ideal for powerful shots and improved puck control during slapshots. They help generate more power and are perfect for defensemen who take a lot of slapshots. Examples of players using heel curves include Anze Kopitar and Eric Staal.
