The Mercian Hockey Evolution CKF85 Pro has been designed with elite play in mind. The CKF85 is a high-carbon hockey stick with the Pro bend to enhance ball control and handling.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Mercian Evolution CKF85 is an 85% carbon model with high-quality Toray carbon placed across a 10% fibreglass skeleton, providing excellent touch and feel. The 5% Kevlar increases durability, stiffness, and laminate bonding.

The Pro Bend features a 23.5mm bow positioned below the mid-point of the shaft, enhancing stick turnover and hitting power.

Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.

KEY FEATURES:

• High-Quality Carbon: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle. Combining carbon with fibreglass and Kevlar enhances strength and durability.
• Fibreglass Construction: Fine glass fibres combined into thicker fibres, dipped in resin, and laid out to create single directional sheets. These sheets are layered at different angles for multi-directional strength.
• High Friction Finish: The final layer of lacquer on the face of the stick is mixed with fine grains of silicon polymer to create a texture that stops the ball spinning on contact. These tiny rubber particles 'squash' on ball impact, providing a damping effect.
• Pro Bend: 23.5mm bend at 230mm from the head.
• Dual-Process Vibration Control: Piezo-electric fibres convert vibrations into heat for efficient dampening.
• Kevlar (Aramid) Durability: Enhances the strength and durability of the stick.
• Fibreglass Micro-Skeleton and Laminates: Forms a flexible base that absorbs energy, combined with carbon, Kevlar, and basalt for enhanced performance.
• Nano-Polymer Resin: Creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.
• Tungsten Carbide Diffused Kevlar: Enhances strength and durability by diffusing tungsten carbide through Kevlar.
