Mercian Evolution GK DM Mid Bend Hockey Stick - Advanced Composite Stick

£147.50 Sold out
Tax included.
Size: 36.5"

Designed by New Zealand international keeper Devon Manchester, this GK stick features an 80% carbon shell for exceptional stiffness and powerful saves. The full-size field stick shaft ensures high levels of composite strength for multiple saves and clearances. The full hook indoor profile head maximizes saving area and facilitates speedy movements. The balance point is adjusted to remove weight from the head and place it mid-shaft to ease speed of movement but maximize strength.

Key Features:

  • Mid Bend (23mm / 275mm): Offers a smoother bend to the shaft, useful for a more upright hitting position and "power" skills.
  • Nano Polymer Resin: Creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.
  • Kevlar (Aramid) Durability: Enhances strength and durability by diffusing tungsten carbide through Kevlar.
  • High-Quality Carbon: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle. Combining carbon with fibreglass and Kevlar enhances strength and durability.
  • High Friction Finish: The final layer of lacquer on the face of the stick is mixed with fine grains of silicon polymer to create a texture that stops the ball spinning on contact. These tiny rubber particles 'squash' on ball impact, providing a damping effect.
  • Piezo-Electric Vibration Control: Piezo-electric fibres convert vibrations into heat for efficient dampening.
