Overview
The Alkali RPD Team Hockey Sticks are an excellent mid price point stick with high end features. The stick is a true one-piece design for a consistent and responsive feel from top to bottom. The Vibration Dampening Coating (VDC) improves puck feel when passing and stick handling.
The variable kick point of the RPD Team stick helps players to capitalize on big opportunities in games. Depending on the placement of the lower hand, the RPD Team will adapt it’s flex profile to provide the optimal kick point for that scenario.
