If you are interested in playing indoor hockey, you need to make sure that you get your hands on the best value indoor field hockey sticks. The best value sticks will not just contribute to your performance, but they can also deliver an enjoyable experience to you. Since the market is overwhelmed with numerous indoor field hockey sticks, we thought of providing you with suggestions of 7 outstanding sticks available to purchase globally.
Note: You’ll find indoor sticks are thinner and lighter as the rules state players may not backswing. So with the playing surface being much smaller, harder, and more level, there is no need for the extra weight in your stick. Not only that – balls are lighter too. Let’s look at our choice for the best seven sticks.
STX Field Hockey iX 901 Indoor Stick is an advanced stick designed especially for Indoor Hockey. Constructed with 90% carbon, this stick is ultra-light yet incredibly strong.
Featuring an extreme low bow, as seen above, the STX iX901 is perfect for getting underneath the ball. Well suited for those who want to master their 3D, aerial and drag-flicking skills.
Prominent features
- Lightweight construction
- 90% carbon design
- Ultra-low bow shape
The Osaka Indoor Pro Tour Wood Pro Bow would have to be our favorite pick for the Intermediate Player and above. Having its maximum bow point at 250mm from the head, with a maximal height of 24mm, we found it to be superb for your dribbling game.
Constructed from 60% wood, 30% carbon, and 10% Kevlar Cross reinforcement, we found from testing it has a great touch while being quite light. While the wood finish wont be everyone’s cup of tea, I love it. Looks really old school.
All in all, you get a fantastic stick for what we consider a reasonable price. That being said, bear in mind this is not an entry-level stick. For the Intermediate and above players, you will love the Osaka Pro Tour Wood Indoor Hockey Stick!
