When playing floorball for the first time, there are often spare sticks available that can be borrowed, but to really get into this sport you most likely want to have your own stick. The benefits of owning your own stick includes the ability to extend the practice of ball-handling skills at home. When it comes to selecting a stick there are several factors that should be taken into account. The flexibility or stiffness, weight, length of the stick, shape of the grip, shape of the shaft and type of blade.
