Field Hockey Stick Carbon Chart 2026

Carbon content is the biggest single factor in how stiff and powerful a composite stick feels.

Higher carbon means less shock absorption. If you miss-hit often, a lower-carbon stick will feel better and help you improve faster.

Who are 10–35% carbon sticks for?

Sticks with 10–35% carbon suit developing players moving up from a first stick. More carbon makes a stick stiffer, so more of your swing reaches the ball. The trade-off is less forgiveness on miss-hits.

Carbon isn't everything

Bow shape, weight and balance matter as much as carbon. Choose the bow for your position and skills, and the carbon for your level. See all field hockey sticks for the full buying guide.
