Cool project! Thanks for sharing. I assume you use composite sticks regularly, and only tried wooden sticks for this project. If so, I wonder how the results would change (if at all) were you to get used to a wooden stick, using it regularly. I went back to wooden sticks exclusively last year. I just could never find a composite that felt right. Dare I say it, they were all too light!
Wayne Gretzky scored 92 goals and 215 points with a wooden stick. What do you need a composite stick for? I do not understand. MLB still uses wood bats. So should nhl. College uses metal whatever fine use composite in college but pros should have to all use wooden sticks
I just got back to skating a little recently. It's been over 10byears since Iast played. I have some old wooden kohos i use. I went to local hockey shop and I can't believe how much heavier ny sticks are compared to the new ones! It might be worth the investment to get one
I watched this because I have never used a composite stick. I've had the same Jofa stick for more than 20 years. As a c leaguer I'm not sure I'm willing to spend the amount they're asking for these sticks. For $75 USD I can get a three pack of Christian wood sticks. . I agree, the test doesn't account for the time the tester has spent likely only using composite sticks.
The world record for shooting a bow is held by a wood bow and not a compound bow, with the wood bow shooting a heavier arrow and the composite bow shooting a very light carbon fiber arrow. The greater momentum of the heavier arrow overcoming the air resistance for a longer period of time allowing the arrow to travel further. I would suggest that in this video, the shooter may not have been strong enough, or simply not used to the heavier stick, to put sufficient energy into shooting the wood stick to realize its full potential.
With that logic, it'd be the weight of the puck that'd be the difference maker and that's not what this study is about. Sure, a wooden stick has slightly more momentum because it's heavier but due to the overall stiffness, it loses the ability to flex with the spring-like action of a composite stick, ultimately sacrificing shot velocity. Also, as the shooter in the video, I can assure you I'm plenty strong enough to apply sufficient energy.
@@Hendogslum22 Can you try to put into more exact terms how the stiffness of the stick results in less efficient energy transfer? What is the actual governing physical effect that causes less energy to come through the wooden stick?
@@BarDownBoys Although being able to transfer more velocity to the puck due to momentum, (it has more mass than a composite stick, therefore more momentum) the wooden stick is less efficient in its energy transfer due to the reduced flex which is a result of the stiffness. When a composite stick is flexed, it is essentially a spring storing up potential energy that will be transferred kinetically to the puck during the collision. It's clear that the potential energy built up during the spring-like flexing of the composite stick will transfer more velocity than the momentum of the heavier wooden stick. It's also interesting to note that since it's lighter, the composite stick will be swung faster than the wooden stick, actually making their momentum values comparable.
Have you used a wooden stick as much as a composite? If you've trained most your life with a composite and then grabbed a wooden stick for this video, your shot would suffer as a result of your unfamiliarity with the new stick. Also Wear a helmet, cousin!

Should do one on comparing shooting accuracy
nice scientific explanation

Cool
Soo why not wood blade for a composite stick?

RowellHockey composite,sticks are much better at using the energy U put in and transferring it into shots

What compound bow has to do with anything here
