Compatibility: This stick is designed for use in field hockey on grass, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces. It is compatible with standard field hockey rules regarding stick dimensions and materials.
Care: To maintain the stick's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stick down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the stick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaning it against hard surfaces for extended periods, which could cause warping or damage.
- Grip Maintenance: If the grip becomes worn or loses its tackiness, it can be replaced with a new hockey grip tape.
- Avoid Impact: While durable, excessive impact with hard surfaces or other equipment can damage the stick. Use it primarily for playing hockey.
