SPECIFICATIONS
This invention relates to sports equipment, more precisely a
hockey st i ck .
A problem with hockey 3tick3 i3 that the 3urface of the stick i5
3mooth which ciln c~u3e the 3tick to slip from the pLayer's grasp.
Thi3 smooth surface can al30 hinder i~ player's puck handling ability
a3 a result of a poor gra3p of the hockey 3tick.
I have found that the3e advantage3 may be overcome ~y u3ing a
wooden hockey 3tick 3haft with curved finger grooves 3anded into the
downward 3ide of the shaft. A player's top hand con3tantly gra3p3 the
top of the 3haft, therefore the curved finyer grooves provide for a
firm grip that reduces the chance Qf the stick 31lpping out of the
p I ayer ' 5 gra3p .
