Abstract:
1. A field hockey stick comprising: a handle; a throat adjoining the handle, the throat defining a longitudinal axis; and a head adjoining the throat opposite to the handle, the head curving away from the longitudinal axis and back toward the handle to form a toe, the head beginning at a point where the head first curves away from the longitudinal axis, wherein the throat comprises a playing side having a flat exterior face, a non-playing side having a round exterior face, and two edges between the playing side and the non-playing side, wherein the throat is hollow, wherein in a cross section of the throat taken perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, the playing side and the non-playing side have a first wall thickness that is substantially constant and the two edges have a second wall thickness, the cross section increasing in thickness from the first wall thickness to the second wall thickness from the playing side to the two edges and from the non-playing side to the two edges, and wherein the second wall thickness is substantially greater than the first wall thickness to provide the field hockey stick with edge weighting.
