Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Neon hockey stick is specifically designed for junior players and beginners who are just starting to learn the fundamentals of field hockey. Its primary benefit lies in its lightweight wooden construction, which makes handling significantly easier for young athletes developing their motor skills and technique. While it is excellent for early training and skill acquisition, the wooden material is less durable and offers less power output compared to professional-grade composite sticks, meaning it is intended solely for entry-level play.

FAQs

Is this stick suitable for indoor hockey?

Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent choice for indoor training sessions for beginners.

How do I determine if 24 inches is the right size?

The stick should reach roughly to the player's hip bone when held vertically next to them.

Can I use this stick on concrete?

While you can, it will wear down significantly faster. It is highly recommended to use it on grass or astroturf.

Does it need any maintenance?

Keep it dry and store it inside to prevent warping. Check the blade periodically for cracks.

Is it appropriate for high school competition?

No, this stick is intended for juniors and beginners; high school players typically require more durable, composite materials.

Troubleshooting

The grip feels loose or slippery

Ensure the handle is dry before use; if the grip has aged, replace it with a standard field hockey overgrip.

The blade is beginning to splinter

Sand the splintered area lightly with fine-grit sandpaper and wrap the area with protective fiberglass or hockey tape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for young players
  • Comfortable grip reduces hand fatigue
  • Affordable entry point into the sport
  • Helps develop foundational skills safely

Cons

  • Not suitable for competitive or high-level play
  • Wooden construction is prone to wear on rough surfaces
  • Limited power transfer compared to composites
  • Requires more maintenance than plastic sticks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized assembly is required for the Kookaburra Neon; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of your stick, keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving the stick in direct rain or high-humidity environments, as moisture can cause the wooden frame to warp or weaken. If the stick is used on hard surfaces, we recommend applying a layer of heavy-duty hockey tape to the bottom of the blade to serve as a protective buffer against friction and impact.
