Mercian Evolution CKF65 Pro Bend Hockey Stick 25/26

Mercian Evolution CKF65 Pro Bend Hockey Stick - Advanced Composite StickThe Mercian Evolution CKF65 is a 65% carbon model with high-quality Toray carbon placed in multi-direction laminate sheets for strength in all directions. The 25% fibreglass skeleton and integrated fibreglass laminates provide great touch and feel, while the 10% Kevlar increases durability, stiffness, and laminate bonding. This model is available in the Pro (low) bend (23.5mm @ 230mm), suitable for multiple skill sets and abilities. Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.

Key Features:

• High-Quality Carbon: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle. Combining carbon with fibreglass and Kevlar enhances strength and durability.

• Fibreglass Construction: Fine glass fibres combined into thicker fibres, dipped in resin, and laid out to create single directional sheets. These sheets are layered at different angles for multi-directional strength.

• High Friction Finish: The final layer of lacquer on the face of the stick is mixed with fine grains of silicon polymer to create a texture that stops the ball spinning on contact. These tiny rubber particles 'squash' on ball impact, providing a damping effect.

• Pro (Low) Bend: 24mm bend at 230mm from the head.

• M-Gel Vibration Control: Silicon gel injected into the handle absorbs vibrations caused by power skills such as hitting and slapping, providing much more feel.

• Kevlar (Aramid) Durability: Enhances the strength and durability of the stick.

• Fibreglass Micro-Skeleton and Laminates: Forms a flexible base that absorbs energy, combined with carbon, Kevlar, and basalt for enhanced performance.

• Dual-Process Vibration Control: Piezo-electric fibres convert vibrations into heat for efficient dampening.

• Cold Touch Lacquer: Provides a cool feel to the stick's surface.
