Although sniping capabilities and passing accuracy are important in the makeup of a stick, these characteristics are nothing without supreme balance throughout. The EK9 Composite Stick is made with optimal balance in mind as double-reinforced walls and a thin blade are featured with a one-piece spear shaft construction assist in a steady feel throughout the stick. An unmatched puck feel and simpler stick-handling are the result of this technology.

That's not to say that the booming shots and impenetrable dishing abilities aren't factored into the makeup of Sher-Wood's collective brainchild. Featuring a low kick point, the EK9 also includes a consistent flex profile, allowing players to target their shots as the stick reacts the same way with every shot. The shot- and pass-energy travels through to the high-density foam blade, which absorbs shock and remains stiff over a longer period of time.

This model is also refinished with grip technology, which allows you to hold on to the stick and feel more comfortable before you snipe an accurate shot or make that perfect pass.
