Mercian Evolution 0.2 Hockey Stick 2020/21

High Specification, 95% Carbon / 5% Fibreglass, Hex Bend, elite performance Mercian hockey sticks. Designed to maximise energy transfer the Evolution 0.2 has a 95% carbon construction including a Quad Carbon sleeve (braid)* applied to the 3 specific stress points within the stick - heel, back-hand edge & bottom of handle. The Hex bend aids drag flicking & 3D skill execution with an enhanced backhand edge. The stick features the active molecule 'piezo-electric fibres' and m-gel silicon sleeve providing vibration damping. An additional feature is the extra cushioned grip created with a 0.75mm PU foam layer beneath the standard super-soft m-tek grip. The new soft touch lacquer and high friction finish used to finish the sticks gives enhanced grip on the shaft for both hand & ball.

* The Quad Carbon Sleeve is a full-length carbon sock with 3 specific extra sleeves applied to the key stress points in the stick - 4 in total (Quad). The sleeve technology provides the same 360-degree strength seen in braided sticks, enhancing the energy transfer for exceptional hitting power.

HEX Bend

The new innovative HEX bend is a hybrid model combining a lacrosse style handle and a conventional hockey shaft. The 6-sided grip means a player can feel the sticks position in the hand without looking and the shape specifically helps locate the extended finger associated with flicking along the spine of the stick. As the hexagonal handle shape merges into the hockey shaft it creates a flattened spine that increases the sticks stiffness. The edges then are also flattened to give a specific backhand hitting zone with a surface designed to aid both power and control on the reverse side. The shaft then also has the ultimate bend with its maximal curve to further enhance flicking and overhead skills.
