The AirBlade Hockey Stick By Carbon Sports

Does a better, stronger, and more aerodynamic hockey stick sound good? Well you may have just found one.

The patented AirBlade has eliminated the foam core found in all carbon fiber hockey sticks on the market, and has a crisscross design that enables air to pass through the blade. It gives players faster shot speeds, more accurate shots, and less wind resistance. It also gives them back the feel of the puck, which was lost when wood sticks were replaced by the carbon fiber sticks on the market today. Importantly, because the blade of the AirBlade is made of solid carbon fiber composite, it is resistant to wearing down and delaminating, which is a huge problem with current carbon fiber sticks; players are afraid to play at full strength for fear of breaking their stick (and having to purchase another one).

Carbon Sports is taking the hockey world by storm with the most revolutionary advance in hockey stick manufacturing in the history of the sport. The AirBlade has:

  • Scientifically proven increase in swing speed. Due to the AirBlade’s unique perforated construction, air flows freely through the blade - reducing drag, increasing swing speed, and maximizing power behind every shot.

  • Greater Durability. The Airblade’s patented cross beam construction, multi-directional carbon fiber orientation, and high modulus resin formula virtually eliminates breakdown of the stick's “pop," reduces vulnerability to delaminate, and significantly extends the life of the stick.

  • Superior feel. Never has a stick provided this level of “feel” of the puck - early users describe it as “an extension of your hands” due to the perforated design, which puts less stick between a player and the puck.

  • Unparalleled control. The micro-grip nubs, combined with the perforations in the blade, bite the puck, holding it on your blade during stick handing for increased puck control and shot accuracy.

  • Fully customizable. The AirBlade is available for custom order in 25,000 different combinations of lie, curve, curve depth, contour, rake, shaft flex, and shaft coat. Just like a pro - you give us your specs, and we make an AirBlade just for you!

Carbon Sports is on the verge of a launch into full manufacturing mode that will allow many followers the ability to custom order the revolutionary AirBlade hockey stick.

They are excited to be entering into a crowd-funding campaign through the very popular web-based company, kickstarter.com. When this campaign is complete Carbon Sports LLC will have the resources needed to fully execute our marketing and manufacturing plan.
