What does the carbon percentage in your hockey stick mean?

Hockey sticks contain the carbon fiber called carbon. The more carbon there is in your stick, the stiffer and stiffer the stick is. A big advantage of this is that you can push and hit the ball harder. Many professional hockey players therefore opt for a hockey stick with a carbon percentage of 100%. The disadvantage is that the ball jumps off the stick faster due to the stiffness. This gives you less ball control. How much carbon in your stick you can choose depends on your level of play. If you have good hockey technique and a lot of ball feeling, a hockey stick with 100% carbon may suit you best. If you are a beginner, it is wise to purchase a hockey stick with less carbon.
