🏒 A reinforced, stronger paddle — More confidence with every throw

🏒 A reinforced, stronger paddle — More confidence with every throw

At Force Hockey , we know that the most important contact point of a stick… is the blade . It's where everything happens: reception, control, shooting. A blade that breaks too quickly is not only frustrating, but expensive. That's why our All Black Prototype models are designed with a reinforced blade , for greater strength, durability and performance.


💪 Why strengthen the palette?

In modern hockey, shots are more powerful, passes are faster, and surfaces are more abrasive. As a result, the blade is subjected to constant shock, violent flexing, and repetitive impacts.
A traditional blade can crack or wear out after a few weeks—especially if you play often. At Force Hockey, we wanted to push that limit.


🛠️ How do we strengthen our pallets?

Our All Black Prototype sticks use:

  • A carbon composite insert along the entire length of the blade

  • High-density foam inside to absorb shocks

  • An abrasion-resistant outer coating that resists rough surfaces

  • Optimized laminar fusion to avoid separations at the end of the pallet


🧪 Tested by elite players

Our prototypes have been tested in semi-pro and collegiate leagues , on ice and in dek hockey. The result: the average blade life is 40% longer than that of several comparable major brands—and at a fraction of the price.


🏷️ Stronger, but still lightweight

Strengthening the palette does not mean making the stick heavier.
Our Extralite and Superlite models retain their featherweight (350 g to 395 g) while incorporating this reinforcement technology.


💥 Result? More confidence, longer.

  • Dryer shots

  • More precise control

  • Less damage, more matches played

And if your stick breaks, you're covered with our 30-day warranty policy .
