Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for data related to the performance of composite hockey sticks compared to wooden ones, specifically focusing on their impact in terms of distance and power when hitting. The scope includes material composition, physics principles related to sports equipment, and references to existing research.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Liz requests data on the performance of composite hockey sticks, indicating a need for specific information on how they hit further and with more power than wooden sticks.
  • One participant seeks clarification on whether Liz is referring to the climate change 'hockey stick' curve or the material composition of hockey sticks.
  • Another participant suggests considering the principle of spring stiffness, noting that there may be relevant research on baseball bats that could apply to hockey sticks.
  • A different participant mentions that the coefficient of restitution is higher for composite sticks and that they tend to be stiffer, while also indicating that specific manufacturing data may be proprietary and difficult to obtain.
  • There is a question posed regarding whether the discussion pertains to field hockey or ice hockey, which could influence the context of the data being sought.
  • A link to a book is provided, suggesting that it contains relevant information, particularly a power equation that could help in understanding the performance factors of hockey sticks.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing interpretations of what type of data is being requested, indicating a lack of consensus on the specific focus of the discussion. Multiple competing views remain regarding the nature of the data and its application.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the availability of proprietary data on composite hockey sticks, and the discussion does not resolve whether the focus is on field or ice hockey, which may affect the applicability of the information shared.

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.
