Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Neon hockey stick is specifically engineered for young beginners and youth players who are developing their foundational skills on the pitch. Its primary benefit lies in its lightweight wooden construction, which offers excellent maneuverability and control for smaller hands, though users should note that wood sticks require more careful maintenance compared to composite alternatives to ensure longevity.

FAQs

Is this stick suitable for indoor or outdoor play?

This stick is designed for standard field hockey use and performs best on grass or artificial turf pitches.

How do I choose the right length?

Generally, the top of the stick should reach the player's hip bone when they are standing upright. The 22-inch length is intended for the youngest age brackets.

Can this stick be used for hitting the ball hard?

While it is durable enough for youth training, it is designed for learning skills; avoid heavy hitting against solid walls or hard surfaces to prevent breakage.

Does the stick come with a warranty?

Kookaburra products generally come with a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check with your retailer for specific terms.

Should I apply any oil or treatment to the wood?

It is not strictly necessary, but keeping the stick dry and out of extreme elements is the best way to preserve the wood's integrity.

Troubleshooting

The grip feels slippery during play

Wipe the grip with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt or sweat, or consider applying a new layer of hockey grip tape over the handle.

Splinters appearing on the stick head

Lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper and ensure you are not hitting hard, non-field surfaces which cause wood fibers to fray.

  • Not intended for competitive high-level adult play

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Unlike modern composite sticks that are ready to use immediately, the Kookaburra Neon requires attention to its material composition.

  1. Storage: Always store the stick in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in damp grass or inside a car during extreme temperatures, as moisture and heat can warp the wood.
  2. Maintenance: If the stick gets wet during play, wipe it down thoroughly with a dry cloth after the session to prevent the wood from swelling or splintering.
  3. Grip Care: The Pro Contact grip may wear down over time. If the grip becomes loose or slippery, you can easily wrap a fresh hockey grip tape over the existing handle to restore tackiness.
  4. Usage: Use this stick exclusively on appropriate field surfaces. Avoid striking hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this will quickly damage the head of the stick.
