Wood hockey sticks Wooden hockey sticks are more traditional than composite hockey sticks. They are easy to customize by sanding or cutting them according to one's preference. They are heavier and stiffer than composite sticks, but break more easily. Fiberglass hockey sticks Fiberglass hockey sticks consist of Fiberglass coatings wrapped around a wooden core, which makes them relatively heavy. They are the cheapest among the composite sticks, and are usually the least durable.
Aluminum hockey sticks Aluminum hockey sticks have shafts made of pure aluminum. Their blades are usually replaceable. They are heavier and less durable than Titanium and Kevlar sticks, but lighter than Wood and fiberglass.
Graphite hockey sticks Graphite hockey sticks are made up of either pure graphite, a wooden core with a Graphite coating, or a mixture of Graphite and Kevlar. Most models have replaceable blades. They are cheaper than Titanium and Kevlar sticks, but more expensive than Aluminum and fiberglass. They are fairly durable and lightweight.
Kevlar hockey sticks Kevlar hockey sticks use a synthetic material made of aramid fibers, either in pure form or mixed with graphite. Models made with Graphite and Kevlar shafts usually have replaceable blades. They are stronger and lighter than most hockey stick materials, but are also the most expensive.
Titanium hockey sticks Titanium hockey sticks are usually made entirely of titanium. They are also strong and lightweight, and cost about as much as Kevlar sticks. The blades are usually replaceable and can be installed with torches.
