Description
Mercian Elite CKF90 Ultimate V2 Bend Hockey Stick - Elite Composite Technology Stick
Experience top-tier performance with the Mercian Elite CKF90 Hockey Stick. Designed for advanced and aspiring intermediate players, this stick features a 90% carbon construction with a fiberglass micro-skeleton for exceptional touch and durability. The Ultimate V2 Bend, new for 2025, features an aggressive low bow for enhanced drag flicking, aerial skills, and 3D dribbling. It has a thinner toe and sculpted head for better ball control and lifting. Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.
Key Features:
- High-Quality Carbon: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle. Combining carbon with fiberglass and Kevlar enhances strength and durability.
- Fiberglass Construction: Fine glass fibers combined into thicker fibers, dipped in resin, and laid out to create single directional sheets. These sheets are layered at different angles for multi-directional strength.
- 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.
- Ultimate V2 Bend: 24.5mm bend at 200mm from the head.
- Dual-Process Vibration Control: Piezo-electric fibers convert vibrations into heat for efficient dampening.
- Kevlar (Aramid) Durability: Enhances the strength and durability of the stick.
- Fiberglass Micro-Skeleton and Laminates: Forms a flexible base that absorbs energy, combined with carbon, Kevlar, and basalt for enhanced performance.
- Nano-Polymer Resin: Creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.
- Tungsten Carbide Diffused Kevlar: Enhances strength and durability by diffusing tungsten carbide through Kevlar.
