Gopher Exclusive Product
Gopher PowerPlay ABS-Shaft Floor Hockey Sticks
Unlike most beginner floor hockey sticks, which are usually hollow, this stick features twin-I-beam construction that runs the length of the shaft, adding strength and longevity.
Specifications
- A resilient, high-impact ABS plastic shaft maintains the floor hockey stick’s shape even under pressure. ABS plastic is lightweight for easy handling yet more durable than PVC.
- The shaft's rounded corners offers a more comfortable grip.
- The textured polyethylene blade holds up to rough outdoor surfaces yet will not damage indoor floors. Its perforated design reduces wind resistance, allowing air to flow freely through holes so you can shoot harder and faster.
- A soft plastic end cap keeps players safe from rough edges.
- This stick is best suited for youth or beginner players.
- Sticks are available in two sizes and two colors to accommodate all ages and easily organize teams.
12-Player Sets include:
- Sticks, 10 Ea
- Goalie Sticks, 2 Ea
- PVC Balls, 3 Ea
- PVC Pucks, 3 Ea
