      Product details

      The Genesis CKF35 is a 35% Carbon Pro-bend composite hockey stick. At the top of the junior collection (*also available in senior lengths), the Genesis CKF35 offers a good level of carbon within the construction to aid energy transfer from player to ball and therefore assisting with hitting power.

      The Pro Bend (24mm @ 230mm) and full midi head ensure that a players skill execution is supported with an adult shaft shape but without the aggressive low bend. 

      • 35% Carbon
      • Pro (low) bend (24mm @ 230mm)
      • M-Gel vibration control
      • Nano-Polymer Resin
      • Kevlar (Aramid) durability
      • Fibreglass Micro-skeleton and laminates

      Fibreglass

      The fibreglass described within any stick is exactly that, very fine (thin) glass fibres / filaments. Multiple filaments are combined to create a thicker fibre. This is then unwound from a spool (like a big cotton reel), dipped in a resin to make them super sticky and then laid out on a release paper (like grease-proof backing paper) to create single directional sheets of fibreglass.

      These sheets are then cut into smaller pieces and layered at different angles to create strength in multiple directions. Whilst fibreglass is strong, it is not as brittle as carbon and therefore forms a fantastic base (micro-skeleton) which absorbs some energy because of its flexibility and over which the Carbon, Kevlar and Basalt can be layered to create high end performance sticks. In our (Mercian) opinion, sticks perform better with a non-carbon base skeleton. 

      Carbon Fibre

      To provide stiffness in multiple directions the fibre can be woven into a multi-directional sheet (seen as an obvious weave in the sticks surface) or single direction sheets can be layered over each other to create the multi-directional stiffness. 40% of the weight of a composite stick comes from the resin within it.

      So a stick can’t be 100% carbon. However it can be claimed that 100% of the composite materials in a stick are carbon. Mercian do not believe this gives optimal strength and so always combine the carbon overlay with a composite micro-skeleton made from fibreglass, Kevlar (aramid) and basalt.

      Pro Bend 

      The Mercian Pro Bend incorporates a near maximum 23.5mm bow positioned just below the mid-point of the shaft, approximately 250mm from the bottom of the stick. The shaft has then been shaped to give a thinner profile under the right hand and a balance point that favours the head end of the stick.

      This gives a combination of great stick turn-over due to the shape but enhanced hitting power because of the balance point and sweet spot, the hitting power is also enhanced because the head is 1.5mm thicker than the ultimate bend. 

      Player Profile

      • The Mercian Genesis CKF35 is the premium composite stick in the Genesis range, offering good levels of power because of the energy transfer, a low-bend profile and soft touch and feel. 
      • Suitable for intermediate junior players and beginner adults. 
      • Defenders will benefit from the carbon composition as the stiffness (compared to
      • CF 15 and CF25) helps with distribution using hitting and slapping. 
      • The Pro Bend in 35 and 36.5 lengths helps lift passes and 3D skills which are great for intermediate midfield juniors. 
      • The open face and head weighting assist forwards by creating power for hit shots and also the ability to lift the ball if required, enabling shots to all corners.
