6 STAR Power
The 6star offers excellent balance between power (stiffness) and control (touch) with 70% carbon composite giving it long-lasting rigidity and strength. With great touch while still offering plenty of power this is a top range stick for a player looking for a bit more control without compromising hitting power.
MOULD / SHAPE of stick
The Mould 1 (SG1) was developed by the best player in the world, #14 Dutch international Teun de Nooijer. This shape has a thin handle, for a comfortable right hand grip and was specially designed for the “Indian Dribble” and the penalty corner injection. It has a 24mm bow and a medium head. Extremely popular players who love to play with light sticks, who have good stick work and enjoy hitting – suited to any position.
Ambassador player – our very own SA men’s hockey captain, Austin Smith #5 (midfielder &defender)!
COLOURS: Silver / grey and blue graphics
SPECIAL FEATURES
- STARS on sticks (2star – 7star) indicate the quality / carbon level / stiffness of stick. For e.g. 7 star with maximum carbon (100%) and greatest stiffness for max hitting power. And the 2star with only 10% carbon has maximum feel giving up a lot of hitting power.
- Colour of stick = star power. 7star sticks are black-and-orange, 6 star sticks are all silver-and-blue, 5star sticks are all yellow etc.
- 5 different MOULDS / shapes of sticks suited for different players / positions. Each stick has the same graphics except on the head head of each stick, there are text graphics showing the mould. For e.g. 7star Mould 1 (SG1) sticks all have the same black and orange graphics but the head of the stick has "SG1" on it.
- "SG#" on the sticks stands for “Sports Gear” and the number tells you which mould the stick is.
- One balanced weight for each stick (no lights or mediums) because Teun believes there is only one weight and that’s ‘BALANCED!’
- All PRINCESS sticks are specially reinforced on the heel and along the reverse stick zone.
- All PRINCESS sticks come with a full manufacturers defect replacement GUARANTEE!
