GRIP COATINGS

The grip coating on carbon fiber hockey sticks is a specialized surface treatment technology. By adding a layer of material with moderate friction to the shaft surface, it helps players maintain a stable grip during stickhandling and shooting.

The core function of the grip coating is to reduce hand slippage by increasing friction between the stick shaft and gloves. During rapid shots or directional changes, the bottom hand needs to stay firmly positioned on the shaft to ensure stable power transfer. This design helps players precisely control stick angles during high-speed movements while avoiding power loss caused by hand slippage.

Modern grip coating technology balances functionality and durability. The coating materials, typically polymers or composite resins, provide consistent friction without excessive wear from frequent use.

The design of grip coatings reflects innovation in hockey equipment details. It avoids the extremes of "the stickier the better" or a complet.
