These are the actual NHL sticks/patterns used by the Pros, available only through a limited number of authorized Koho Pro-Elite Goalie Dealers. The top of the line 590 goal stick features an Aspen wood core shaft with pre-pressed graphite and fiberglass laminate combined with a PU foam injected core paddle reinforced with fiberglass/graphite for stiffness and reduced weight. The PU foam injected core blade is reinforced with fiberglass/black aramid and an ABS heel insert for extra durability and reduced weight.
