Elite Bauer, CCM, and Sherwood hockey sticks bring maximum performance in a modern design

The current hockey stick market is defined by a battle for every gram and nanosecond of energy release. Manufacturers like CCM, Bauer, and Sherwood have pushed the boundaries this year by integrating aerospace-grade materials such as Sigma STP, Boron, and 25K Carbon.

For a professional player, a stick is no longer just a "tool" but a precision-calibrated machine where weight starting at 345 grams dictates reaction speed and scoring success. All these technologies are available directly at Hejduk Sport stores in Hradec Králové and Chrudim, as well as on our e-shop.

Sherwood: Morph Pro as the king of the quick release

If you are looking for a stick that combines lightning-fast reaction with record-breaking lightness, the Sherwood Morph Pro is a technological marvel at 365 g. Thanks to the Duo-Fire system with a Low Kick point, this stick is ideal for players who rely on snap shots and quick releases. Furthermore, the 25K Carbon finish protects the stick from micro-fractures, which we at Hejduk Sport value as a crucial element for long-term durability while maintaining maximum flexibility.

Bauer: The Boron revolution and the Flylite

Bauer currently holds the title for the lowest weight. The PROTO-R (345 g) model utilizes exclusive Boron fibers, which are twice as stiff as the best carbon fiber. For fans of high-speed shots, there is the Bauer Vapor Flylite (360 g), which features the unique Twitch Taper in the lower shaft to minimize blade twisting and ensure a lightning-fast puck release towards the net.

CCM: The innovative Vizion 2 and the elite FT8 series

CCM counters with the Vizion 2 (360 g), utilizing ALUPLI technology (special aluminum layers integrated into the carbon). The classic JetSpeed FT8 Pro (375 g) relies on a proven hybrid kick point and Sigma STP material, which represents the current industry standard for durability in professional hockey.

Investing in models like the PROTO-R or Morph Pro is especially rewarding for players who are on the ice several times a week and demand peak responsiveness under maximum intensity. While the entry-level and mid-range sticks in our selection represent an excellent choice for recreational hockey due to their durability and balance, elite models are specifically calibrated for the highest possible energy efficiency. Specialists at Hejduk Sport will be happy to help you choose the correct flex and blade pattern directly at our stores in Hradec Králové and Chrudim, ensuring your chosen model perfectly matches your skill level.

You can find the full range of these technological innovations in the hockey sticks section at the Hejduk Sport e-shop.
