TK 1.1 Control Bow Composite Field Hockey Stick

• Product Details

  Power combined with a smooth touch is the easiest way to describe the TK1.1 Control Bow.

  12K Carbon offers you exceptional power output and ultra-lightweight. The IDS system will take care of any vibrations, whilst the NPR spread throughout the construction of the stick further enhances the stiffness and that silky-smooth feel.

  All this is combined with the LOW BOW profile for those looking to be more aggressive in their game.

  A sweeping profile with a late placement of the bow offers high level assistance to dribbling, aerial passing skills and drag flicking. A thinner shaft profile and head shape further enhances fast dynamic game play.

  THE LOW BOW This low bow is typically about 25mm and the highest point is close to the toe of the stick. This shape offers extra assistance with lifting the ball, aerials and drag flicking, as well as dynamic ball movement.

  12K CARBON - A 12K spread tow carbon fiber which sees the raw carbon fiber undergo an unbundling process aligning the fibers precisely on their axis which enables them to vastly improve performance compared to unbundled materials. This results in a stick that can maximize performance from its raw materials.

  Integrated Dampening System - Included in the handle within the structure of the stick is an enhanced piezoelectric fiber cell which converts vibration waves firstly to an electrical signal which is then dissipated as heat energy, all of which is undetectable to the player. By using IDS, TK was able to produce sticks with extreme stiffness without the need to compromise on touch and feel.

  NANO POLYMER REINFORCEMENT - A self-assembling group of co-polymers are linked together and then spread throughout the structure of the stick to increase the laminate strength. In conventional constructions, glassfibre is needed to improve the feel and therefore add weight. By adding the NPR to the epoxy, TK was able to significantly increase the impact strength and at the same time offer sticks with much greater feel despite their ultra-high stiffness.
