    Data
In summary, the conversation discusses the request for data on the composition of hockey sticks and how composite sticks have more power and stiffness compared to wooden ones. The conversation also mentions the coefficient of restitution and suggests looking at research on baseball bats for a similar principle. Clarification is also given for whether the conversation is referring to field or ice hockey. A book titled "A Fresh Approach to Sports Equipment Design" is referenced, specifically page 81, where the power equation for hockey sticks can be found.

Sorry what do you mean?
The famous 'hockey stick' curve - rise in CO2/temperature levels and climate change
or the material that a hockey stick is made from?

hi, no i need data on how composite hockey sticks hit further and with more power than their wooden equivalent. thank you.

Think in terms of spring stiffness - there's probably lots of papers/research on baseball bats = same principle.
 
  • #5
Coefficient of restitution of the stick is higher for composites. They also tend to be stiffer. you are unlikely to find any exact compositions or manufacturing data for real sticks as companies keep that to themselves.

Also just to clarify are you taling about field or ice hockey?.http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#PPA81,M1
Page 81

You don't need to read all of it just look for the power equation. That'll give you all the terms that count.
