What do Adidas adult hockey stick numbers mean?
Adidas stick numbers usually indicate the performance level within each range. As a general guide, higher-numbered models are stiffer, more powerful and more responsive, while lower-numbered models are more forgiving and easier to control.
- .95: top-end performance for elite and advanced players who want maximum stiffness and power.
- .90: premium performance with excellent power and slightly more forgiveness than the .95.
- .85: strong club-level performance with a balance of power, touch and control.
- .75: a more forgiving option for developing players or players who prefer a softer feel.
- .60 and .40: easier-to-use models for players who want control, value and a more forgiving touch.
Are Adidas adult hockey sticks good for beginners?
Yes, Adidas adult hockey sticks can be suitable for beginners, as long as you choose the right model. Newer players should usually avoid the stiffest high-carbon sticks and choose a more forgiving model that is easier to control.
Lower-numbered Adidas sticks such as .75, .60 or .40 are often better for developing players because they offer more touch and forgiveness. This can help beginners improve receiving, passing, dribbling and confidence before moving into a stiffer premium model.
Which Adidas adult hockey stick is best for advanced players?
Advanced players should choose an Adidas stick that matches their strengths. If you want power, control and distribution, look at premium Estro or Fabela models. If you want attacking skills, drag flicking and aerial ability, look at high-end Ruzo, Chaosfury or Ina sticks.
Players who want maximum stiffness and response should look at Adidas .95 and .90 models. These are designed for players with the technique and strength to get the most from a high-performance senior stick.
What is the difference between Adidas adult and junior hockey sticks?
The main difference between Adidas adult hockey sticks and junior Adidas sticks is size, stiffness, power and playing level. Adult sticks are generally longer, stiffer and more powerful, making them better suited to older, stronger and more experienced players.
Junior Adidas sticks, such as the Adidas Youngstar range, are designed to be lighter, easier to control and more forgiving for younger players. If you are buying for a younger player, browse our Adidas junior hockey sticks collection instead.
