Pro Stock One-Piece Hockey Sticks Frequently Asked Questions
Pro Stock sticks are custom hockey sticks made to fit the play style of your team’s star players. Each player gets their own specific curve, flex, height and a variety of other custom options available to them.
For most players, purchasing a retail stick is a better option than pro stock for playing hockey. The combination of knowing exactly what you are purchasing with a consistent flex profile, pattern and warranty just makes sense.
Pro Stock sticks are typically longer than a standard stick and often have different specifications or markings that retail sticks do not have. The type of the curve can also be different than what you would find in a retail stick and many pros also have shafts custom ordered to their specifications and can get custom colors too.
One major benefit to Pro Stock Hockey Sticks is that they generally hold up longer. Although no stick is indestructible, pro stock sticks are typically built with the strongest, top-of-the-line materials to stand up to the rigors of profesional play.

What is pro stock?
If you’re an avid SidelineSwap user, you’ve probably watched our pro gear spotlight videos on YouTube. In these videos, we highlight what the top NHL players are using for their twigs of choice, as well as what they wear for the rest of their gear set up. Most youth players have a favorite pro player, so it’s a no brainer that younger hockey players would want to use the same sticks as their NHL idols do.
If you’re someone who wants to use the same stick model as one of your favorite pros, be sure to check out the pro stock hockey stick inventory we have on site. Pro stock sticks are those that are sent to collegiate or professional hockey players. Retailers like Bauer and CCM send hundreds of sticks out to pro guys every season; and while NHL players tend to break and wear down sticks more often than the average hockey player, they still don’t usually end up using every single stick that’s sent to them. So, these extra pro stock “returned” sticks tend to wind up on SidelineSwap in our power sellers’ lockers. Don’t miss out on your chance to own a stick fit for a pro!
