SUMMARY

Liz seeks data on the performance differences between composite and wooden hockey sticks, specifically regarding how composite sticks achieve greater distance and power. Key factors include spring stiffness and the coefficient of restitution, which are critical in understanding the mechanics of these materials. Research indicates that composite sticks are generally stiffer and more effective than their wooden counterparts. A recommended resource is the book "A Fresh Approach to Sports Equipment Design," which contains relevant equations and terms related to hockey stick performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties, specifically spring stiffness
  • Familiarity with the coefficient of restitution in sports equipment
  • Basic knowledge of hockey stick design and performance metrics
  • Access to academic research on sports equipment
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the power equation related to hockey stick performance in the recommended book
  • Explore studies on the material science of composite materials in sports equipment
  • Investigate the mechanics of spring stiffness in relation to sports performance
  • Look into comparative analyses of composite versus wooden hockey sticks
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for sports engineers, materials scientists, and hockey equipment designers seeking to enhance the performance of hockey sticks through material innovation and design principles.

Can anyone suggest where I can geet data on hockey composition - I have been everywhere
Thanks
Liz

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.
 
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

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