What's the deal with these sticks? Why are they cheaper?
These sticks are 100% functional, but they have minor cosmetic imperfections due to tough grain for staining. Therefore we chose not to use them on our engraved sticks and we set them aside to sell at a discount later. See the last picture for examples of cosmetic imperfections. There is a limited quantity, but they are all being sold heavily discounted. Sticks discounted even more after 2+ units.
What about the stick construction?
We teamed up with our longtime partner in Canada to produce a small batch of premium wood hockey sticks. Striving to celebrate hockey sticks of decades past, we kept the design subtle in order to let the wood show. Similar to sticks of the mid-century, only two small black and white bands decorate the stick with a small painted Third Assist logo near the blade.
What is Fraxinus Americana? Ash. White ash has been the wood of choice for hockey sticks since they were first being made. The wood of white ash is strong, stiff, and shock resistant, making it the ideal wood for hockey sticks, but also baseball bats and tool handles.
