04

Color Zones

Three shaft zones plus the Marvic logo — each can be a different color.

01 — TOP OF THE STICK — THE GRIP AREA

Upper Shaft

The upper portion you hold. Most visible section — this is where your name, number, or custom text goes. The most impactful zone for team color matching.

02 — MARVIC WORDMARK ON THE UPPER SHAFT

Logo

The MARVIC wordmark printed on the upper shaft. Choose from Gold, Pearl White, Black, Silver, or White — pick whatever pops against your upper-shaft color.

03 — CENTER SECTION BETWEEN GRIP AND BLADE

Mid Shaft

The transition zone. Using a different color here creates a striking two or three-tone look. A popular choice is to match your team's accent color.

04 — FROM THE HOSEL DOWN TO THE TOE

Blade

The part that contacts the ice and puck. Many players leave this dark carbon for a clean look and durability, but it can be any color in the palette.

Tip: Each zone can be a different color from our transparent or Pantone palette. When you set the upper shaft color and all three are the same, mid shaft and blade auto-update. Change them individually for a multi-color look.

05

Shaft Shapes

How the shaft feels in your hands. Each shape offers different grip and control characteristics.

Standard shaft cross-section

Standard

Traditional rounded rectangular cross-section. The classic feel most players are used to.

Slightly Round shaft cross-section

Slightly Round

Rounded edges for a more ergonomic feel in the hands. Natural hand position, reduces fatigue on longer shifts.

Penta / Penta+ shaft cross-section

Penta / Penta+

Five-sided cross-section with flat walls for improved grip and puck feel. Penta+ has more pronounced edges.

Junior shaft cross-section

Junior

Smaller cross-section designed for younger players. Easier to grip and control for smaller hands.

06

Grip Options

The grip coating on the upper shaft. Affects how the stick feels in your gloves.

3D Soft Touch

3D Soft Touch

Textured soft-touch coating with subtle 3D pattern. Great all-around grip with comfortable feel.

Matte Grip Diamond

Matte Grip Diamond

Diamond-patterned matte grip for extra texture. Maximum control without bulk.

Marvic Goosebump Matte

Marvic Goosebump Matte

Raised goosebump texture over matte coating. Premium feel with excellent glove grip.

Candy Cane Grip

Candy Cane Grip

Spiral-wrapped grip structure for consistent traction at any hand position.

Basketball Grip

Basketball Grip

Raised dimpled texture inspired by basketball surfaces. Maximum tactile control.

Fishbone Corner Grip

Fishbone Corner Grip

Grip material focused on the corners/edges of the shaft for targeted control.

Matte Grip

Smooth matte finish with consistent tackiness. Clean look, reliable hold.

No Grip

Clean, uncoated shaft. For players who tape their own grip or want a slick feel.

07

Kick Point

Where the shaft flexes during a shot. This determines how energy transfers from your hands to the puck.

Low Kick diagram

Low Kick

Flex point near the blade for lightning-fast wrist and snap shots. The shaft loads and releases quickly for a rapid release. Best for forwards who shoot in tight.

Best for: Wrist shots, snap shots, quick release
Mid Kick diagram

Mid Kick

Flex point in the center of the shaft for maximum power. Stores more energy for harder slap shots and one-timers. Best for defensemen and power shooters.

Best for: Slap shots, one-timers, power
High Kick diagram

High Kick

Flex point high on the shaft for maximum loading distance. Traditional defenseman choice — generates raw power for long-range shots and clears.

Best for: Slap shots, clearing, distance

08

Blade Specs

Fine-tune your blade's stiffness and surface texture for your play style.

Blade Hardness

Medium Reactive Softer blade that absorbs puck impact. Easier pass reception and stick handling. Better feel for puck control.
XX-Stiff Maximum blade stiffness for faster, more accurate puck release. Less energy lost during shots. Preferred by power shooters.

Blade Surface

3D Texture Integrated diamond patterns for maximum puck grip and spin on shots.
Sand Sandpaper-like texture for extra puck grip. Better control on passes and reception.
Clear Smooth clear-coat finish. Adds slight weight but looks clean.
Matte No coating. Optimal for players who tape their blade — tape adheres best to matte.

09

Flex Rating

Flex measures how much force (in pounds) is needed to bend the shaft one inch, measured at a standard 40" length. A lower number means a whippier stick.

General Rule

Divide your body weight (in lbs) by two for a starting point. Adjust down for quicker release, up for more power. Forwards typically go softer, defensemen stiffer.

Length Affects Feel

Cutting a stick shorter makes it feel stiffer. Adding length makes it feel softer. A 75 flex at 66" will feel different than a 75 flex cut to 62". Factor this into your choice.

Flex Range by Category

Junior
30 – 50 flex
60-100 lbs body weight
Intermediate
55 – 67 flex
100-150 lbs body weight
Senior
70 – 110 flex
150+ lbs body weight
