Back in early March, we first featured Carbon Sports on Hockey World Blog. They were working on trying to revolutionize the hockey stick industry with their version of a hockey stick. It featured a blade with holes in it that would improve durability as well as puck feel.
Seven months later, Carbon Sports is back and ready to officially unveil their product. They have created a Kickstarter campaign surrounding their new AirBlade hockey stick and hope to raise enough money to proceed with production. The Kickstarter campaign currently has 20 days left, with around $39,000 left to raise in order to achieve their goal of $45,000.
Below are some details about the new stick which come directly from AirBlade’s Kickstarter campaign.
Here at Carbon Sports, we have spent the past four years developing the patented technology that is used in our revolutionary Carbon Sports AirBlade. Unlike typical composite hockey blades, which are made out of a foam core wrapped in carbon fiber sheets, we use strong, lightweight, three-dimensional carbon fiber without a foam core. This solid carbon fiber blade completely absorbs puck impact and gives players unparalleled control and puck feel, and is resistant to breakage and wear. What’s more, because of the unique design of the patented blade, there is absolutely no tape needed!
For more information, head over to their Kickstarter and read about their 60 day money back guarantee and more! You can also check out the video below for additional details.
Drop us a note in the comments with your thoughts on the AirBlade stick. Is this something you would want to try? How do you feel about the price or claimed benefits from using the AirBlade? We’d love to hear what you think!
Can’t wait to get hands on one of these sticks.
The first and third thing he said about the limitations of hockey sticks is not true. The puck feel of wood can be almost matched by top line composite sticks. He also said that composite sticks could not match the stick to the players liking. The reason that composite sticks are unique is because there are different flex points and different benefits to almost every stick. I also think that your shot power would suffer from not having the foam in the blade because of the technolgy.

I am very interested in trying out one of these sticks. To purchase a high end bauer. ccm. warrior etc sticks are very costly and i hate the fact there made in china. I would like to see some used in pro and major junior hockey here in Canada. Wish there was a place to try them out. It would be worth it to get some out there for advertising. I played 150 plus games last year and I know alot of interest would be sparked by just seeing one? Hope to get a chance to try one Thanks
ive got one for sale if interested
