Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Fischer composite and wood hockey sticks, sizing, 3-pack bundles, shipping, and warranty coverage.
1. How do I choose the right stick flex?
A standard starting rule for hockey players is to select a flex rating roughly equal to half your body weight in pounds (e.g., a 170 lb player should start with an 75-85 flex). If you rely heavily on quick wrist and snapshots, select a slightly lower flex. If you take heavy slapshots from the point, consider a stiffer flex. See our complete Stick Fitting & Curve Guide for detailed height and weight charts.
2. What happens to the flex when I cut down my stick?
Cutting a composite hockey shaft shortens the lever arm, making the stick stiffer. As a general guideline, every 1 inch cut from the top of the shaft increases effective flex by approximately 3 to 5 flex points. For example, cutting 2 inches off an 85 Flex Senior stick will make it feel like an ~92-95 Flex stick. Learn more in our Stick Care & Cutting Guide.
3. How do Fischer curves compare to Bauer, CCM, and True?
Fischer blade curves directly mirror standard industry patterns:
• P92 is identical to Bauer P92/P29 and CCM P29/P92 (the classic mid-toe curve).
• P28 is identical to Bauer P28 and CCM P28 (the modern open-toe toe drag pattern).
• P88 is identical to Bauer P88 and CCM P88 (the traditional mid-curve puck control pattern).
• P31 is our premier goalie curve (standard mid-curve paddle pattern).
4. How do 3-Pack Value Bundles work?
Our 3-Pack Stick Bundles provide direct-to-player savings on pro-grade composite and wood sticks. Bundles allow you to secure multiple backup sticks at a substantial discount with free standard shipping. For custom curve or flex combinations within a bundle, please contact Customer Care.
5. What is the Fischer 30-Day Stick Warranty?
All new Fischer composite hockey sticks include a 30-day limited manufacturer warranty against factory defects and on-ice breakage under normal gameplay conditions. The 30 days begin from the verified carrier delivery date. To submit a claim, email photos of the break and serial barcode to support@fischerhockey.net. Full details are available on our Warranty Policy page.
6. How are hockey sticks shipped and packaged?
Hockey sticks are shipped in heavy-duty, reinforced corrugated triangular boxes specifically engineered to withstand transit impacts and prevent blade crushing. Most in-stock orders ship within 1-2 business days via FedEx/UPS Ground. Review our full Shipping & Delivery Policy for delivery estimates.
