Height and weights of Composite Sticks

[ajnyr777 0]

Does anyone jnow how much certain composite sticks weigh? Is there an online chart or website? I've looked at the major online retailers, and they don't list the height/ weight of sticks/shafts.

- Thanks

The heights of composite one-piece sticks on sites are sometimes becoming harder to find, but icewarehouse.com does a good job at listing most of the details and ACTUAL weights of the sticks, which leads to my next point: Many manufacturers weigh their sticks before any sort of paint, graphics, or wood/composite extensions are added, as well as weighing the lightest and smallest version of their stick. For example, they'd pick the lowest flex and use the smallest blade pattern to use. Some sites such as icewarehouse.com and totalhockey.net weigh each real stick before listing its info on the site.

I recall a couple instances where measurements showed exactly the opposite. In other words, there is no correlation between flex and weight.

I'm aware that the flex of a stick is determined not by the amount of materials or thickness of shaft walls (as is sometimes stated), but rather my material layer orientation and such. However, any time you hear of manufacturers weighing their sticks, it is always said that they use the lowest flex. Urban myth type of deal I'm guessing?

I've never seen a manufacturer say they use the lowest flex, just the smallest blade.

Bought a cheap $10 digital kitchen scale and it tells me exact weights in grams. It's useful for seeing how much your equipment weighs. A little odd bringing it into a LHS but it will tell you the facts.

I bought a cheap digital gram scale online for $25 to weigh out my food portions because I'm a nutrition/fitness fanatic, but it's been fun using it for hockey sticks/blades as well. :)

a $10 digital scale will give measurements that are about as reliable as the the one's you'll find on the manufacturer's website.

That's a pretty broad statement with no real weight (pun intended). It was $10 on sale and works perfectly fine. There is no reason to say it is not reliable.
