Hockey stick (The Stylist 75) – Mid bow

Description

The mid bow is one of the classic hockey stick shapes. The shape we use nowadays came from the time players used wooden sticks. When people used to step on natural grass fields, the balls bounced irregularly and the drag flicks were still unimaginable. Those times required a bulky head and a straight stick to hit bombs across the field!

At the time hockey started to be played on artificial grass, the players were pushed to be more technical. The sticks changed to fit the faster paced game, the head shape shrank from being almost banana shape to the hook we now use.

The Stylist is a proven shape of the past that still is among the most popular shapes today. This mid bow Willy offers a style of play you might like! The slim design is very manageable whether you defend or are looking for a scoring canon! Its straighter curve makes it easier to receive hard passes, which is basically one of the most important aspects of the game. If you can’t stop it, you can’t pass it! The great control makes it an interesting Willy for midfielders who are looking for maximum control. The second characteristic which makes it a fun stick to play with; the bombs! You can absolutely rip some rockets with this stick. The straightness of this Willy makes it very easy to hit precisely, because of you hand position with respect to your swing. This sounds a little complex, but imagen hitting a low bow. When hitting a low bow, you have to compensate the curve with your hands, otherwise you might hit a high ball.
