We have tried to create a stick that makes a huge difference to how hockey can be played. In all hockey, the most common skill is trapping the ball, and the most common reason for breakdown is mis-trapping the ball. We have created a stick that reinvents the game and revolutionises the surface area on the head of a stick to make trapping the ball the easiest it has ever been.

The ELB’s revolutionary design incorporates touch toe technology and heel lock to aid with dribbling and overhead passes.
