Reebok 3.0.3 O-Stick Testing

Shot Velocity Testing
Model	Curve Pattern (|available flex|)
In order to compare relative shot performance, a total of 10 wrist shots and 10 slap shots were taken and the puck speeds recorded.  Stick swing speed was also recorded to control for shooter effort, fatigue, etc..  Shot speed was obtained using a professional sports radar gun (Stalker Sport 2) placed in front of the shooter directed at the shot target apporximately 12 feet away.  The 10 values for shot speed were then averaged and reported below.  The histogram to the right of the reading provides a range of data obtained for all tested hockey sticks and allows for relative performance comparison against all hockey sticks tested.  The data below is the average of a single shooter (shooter ID001).
Wrist Shot Velocity Test	39 mph
Slap Shot Velocity Test	missing data

Shaft Flex Testing
Model	Curve Pattern (|available flex|)
Values for shaft flex were measured against various static loads and recorded below. Sticks were mounted on a custom testing table at standard widths - one at the end of the shaft and the other 3 feet from the heel of the blade - to simulate a typical players grip. Static loads, 8 total, (barbell exercise weights of 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 pounds) were connected to the blade heel 90 degrees from the shaft and the resulting displacement recorded.
