2018 PRINCESS 5 STAR 60% CARBON

5 STAR Power
The 5star offers superb touch with a 60% carbon composite. It is a softer stick with excellent control perfect for a player who is looking for a better first touch and extra feel.
 
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, #5 Austin Smith (midfielder &defender)!
 
The Mould 9 (SG9) is a LATE BOW - a specialist stick for drag flicking and aerial skills (lifts & flips). The right hand grip is perfectly shaped for comfort and execution when drag-flicking, while the head is shaped for great dribbling control. The Mould 9 is a legal late bow of 24.75mm that meets the new FIH regulations for sticks effective at FIH competitions from 1 Jan 2011 and effective worldwide for all players from 1 Jan 2013. 
 
SIZE: 36.5" (standard length) or 37.5" (extra length)
 
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 black-and-green, 5star sticks are all black-and-yellow etc.
5 different MOULDS / shapes of sticks suited for different players / positions. Each stick has the same graphics except on the 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 head of each stick 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
