Product Information
Full details
The Kookaburra MB50 Hockey Stick is designed for midfielders and versatile players who require a reliable balance between power and precision. Featuring a 50% carbon construction and an M Bow 320 profile, it offers excellent energy transfer and stick control for structured play. While it excels at passing and defensive maneuvers, players seeking an aggressive, ultra-stiff stick for elite-level drag flicking may find the 50% carbon composition slightly less rigid than professional-grade 100% carbon alternatives.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Kookaburra MB50?
The MB50 is constructed with 50% 12K carbon and utilizes a Dual Core structure.
Is this stick suitable for beginners?
While it is designed for midfielders, its balanced feel makes it an excellent choice for intermediate players looking to upgrade from wooden or entry-level composite sticks.
What does the M Bow 320 profile mean?
The M Bow refers to the shape of the stick's curve, and the 320 indicates the placement of that bow, which is positioned to maximize control and passing accuracy.
Does the stick come with a specific grip?
Yes, it is equipped with a Pro EVA grip designed for comfort and slip resistance.
How do I maintain the Kookaburra Control Face (KCF)?
Simply wipe the face with a damp cloth after use to remove grit and mud, which helps maintain the textured grip on the ball.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration when striking the ball
Check if the grip has worn thin and apply an additional overgrip to improve shock absorption.
Surface peeling or minor scratching on the shaft
This is common with composite sticks; use a clear epoxy or resin to seal deep scratches, but ensure the structural carbon layers remain intact.
Stick feels unbalanced or heavy
Ensure the Pro EVA grip is applied evenly and has not bunched up near the handle, which can alter the weight distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your MB50 stick, it is recommended to regularly inspect the head for small cracks or loose fibers after matches. While the stick features a reinforced edge, avoid striking it against metal surfaces or hard, unyielding goal posts, as this can degrade the carbon structure over time. For the grip, keep it dry after wet training sessions to prolong the life of the Pro EVA material. If the grip begins to lose its tackiness, consider wrapping it with an overgrip rather than replacing the base layer entirely, as this adds comfort and maintains the stick's original diameter. When storing, keep the stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the composite materials from becoming brittle.
