Wooden Stick Senior

Wooden and ABS sticks are much more resistant to hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. In street hockey or pond hockey during winter, they withstand wear and impacts much better than fragile carbon sticks. Recreational players who want to play spontaneously outdoors often choose Instrike wooden sticks or affordable Bauer clearance models.

Yes – Bauer wooden sticks and Instrike ABS models can easily be used on ice or indoors. On asphalt and concrete they wear down faster, but on ice they last very long. For training sessions or beginners on the ice, wooden sticks are a cost-effective and reliable choice.

Beginners benefit from the solid feel of a wooden stick. The extra weight supports proper technique and makes shooting errors more forgiving. In addition, Instrike wood-ABS sticks are affordable, allowing players to try different lengths and curves without spending a lot of money on a carbon stick.

Using hockey tape greatly increases durability. Tape protects the blade edges, improves ball/puck control and ensures a better grip on the shaft. Even with Instrike ABS sticks, which are already robust, taping is recommended for even longer lifespan.

The correct length depends on whether you play with skates or with sneakers (“fieseln”/street play).

• With ice or inline skates: The stick should reach up to the chin when standing upright.
• With sneakers/street shoes (“fieseln”): The stick should reach up to the mouth or slightly higher, as you stand lower.

Wooden sticks can easily be shortened. For children or players with smaller hands there are Junior and Intermediate versions with thinner shafts. Choosing the shooting side is also important: Right shot = right hand on the bottom, Left shot = left hand on the bottom. Both Bauer and Instrike offer all variants.

Whenever durability and price are more important than light weight and high-end technology. Bauer wooden sticks and Instrike ABS sticks are perfect for recreation, pond hockey, street hockey and beginners. Players who want to protect their expensive composite carbon sticks outdoors usually choose a wooden stick instead.
