Embodiment Construction

[0011]As shown in FIG. 2, a hockey stick of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a shaft 10, and a blade 20. The blade 20 includes a toe end 21, a heel end 22, a top edge 23 and a bottom edge 24. A transverse length of the blade 20 is defined as L. The blade 20 has an opening portion 25 within a region between the toe end 21 and ⅓ L from the toe end 21. In the present embodiment, the opening portion 25 includes a plurality of parallel vertical openings to increase a flexibility of the region of the blade 20 adjacent to the toe end 21.

[0012]The advantages of hockey stick the present invention with the opening portion 25 include:

[0013]1. The region with the opening portion 25 is more flexible than a center region of the blade that the player can pick and pitch the puck faster and precisely.

[0014]2. The opening portion 25 may reduce the weight of the blade 20 about 15% to 20% (Typically, the blade is about 80 g to 100 g, and the opening portion 25 may reduce...

Basically, hit needs more power, so that players have to hit the puck by a main portion 2 at a center of the blade 1. The main portion 2 should be the strongest area of the blade 1. Pick and pitch need flexibility and speed rather than power, so that player has to hit the puck by a front portion 3 adjacent to a toe end of the blade 1. The front portion 3 should be soft and more flexible. However, the conventional hockey sticks have the entire blade with the same property so that the blade can...
