Just as graphite composite materials have become the “defacto” performance standard in the tennis and golfing industry, composites are rapidly becoming the standard in the hockey stick world and are pushing aside the old wood and aluminum products. Composite sticks, shafts and blades offer many performance advantages to hockey players of all skills and ages when compared to wood or aluminum. In fact, the vast majority of NHL players have made the switch to composite sticks to improve their performance for the following reasons:
Combat Hockey composite sticks make excellent economic sense over the long run while providing superior performance to all levels and types of players. Combat Hockey sticks and shafts have proven to be the most durable on the market.

Selecting the right stick is critical to comfort and improved performance.
Factors to consider when selecting the right hockey stick
Shaft Stiffness*
| Comp Super Flex (80) | Recreational and Competitive finesse players |
| Mid Flex (90) | Strong forwards, equal wrist & slap shots |
| Stiff Flex (100) | Defense & strong forwards, good slap shots |
| Pro Stiff Flex (110) | Strongest players, very hard shot |
*When in doubt, go with the more flexible shaft. Most players make the mistake of using too stiff a shaft, which is beyond their strength and capability to maximize performance. The flex and subsequent kick in the shaft is what gives the enhanced performance in composite materials.
Blade Type
| MC | Traditional, best all around |
| HCR, HCS, SC | Raise the puck quickly with snap and slap shots |
| CC, TC, IC | Used for fast rising shots. Also provides ability to more accurately direct wrist shots |
