CONT

A composite shaft [of a hockey stick] should be purchased for the shaft consistency, shot speed and accuracy and its lighter weight. These are the most expensive and have less durability than aluminum. The average cost of a high-end composite shaft is $90 with blade. Lower priced composites shafts are generally targeted at the recreational market, less advanced players or young amateurs. These shafts cannot withstand hard play. Consumers should be careful when choosing the proper shaft. Just because a composite stick is more expensive does not mean that it will last longer!
