Why a Princess T-14 Stick?
Princess Sticks were designed by 2 of the International Top players of the World. Teun de Nooijer, Dutch International and FIH best player in the world 2003, 2005 and 2006 along with Jacques Brinkman, World and 2x Olympic gold medalist designed the stick with only 1 thought in mind, creating a new level of top sticks.

Okay, so now you know a Princess stick is the right choice, which one works best for you?
Princess sells sticks for all levels. You can recognize the different Princess stick on the number of stars on the stick.
The number of stars on the Princess sticks indicate the quality of the sticks. The more stars, the more carbon is produced in the sticks. The number of stars are shown on the inside of the sticks. The percentage of carbon used in the sticks indicates the stiffness, but also makes sure the sticks keep their stiffness for a longer time (comparable with tennis rackets and ski’s). Glass fibre and Kevlar protects the carbon and take care of a good feel of the stick. Sticks of Princess are extra-protected beneath the head of the stick and the area of the Argentinean backhand. Princess advises sticks with a percentage of > 50% for experienced hockey players.
You can pretty much keep this in mind! The less stars the less stiff the stick is! The lesser stiff stick will give the beginning to average hockey player more control over the ball but less power. The more stiff the stick is, the more power you will gain but the stick is less forgiving in controlling the ball.
