<p>A new playing device for Ringette that improves on the current stick used i n play. The new stick may have identical dimensions and shape of the conventional sticks. The invention has two embodiments both featuring tip [ice end] improvements. The favored embodiment has a hardened spray-on material of outstanding robustness. The second is a glue with hard particles embedded in the glue. Both embodiments feature new tip modification that improve ring pickup and also resist wear and tip rounding with play. Each stick is appended with an exterior tip covering of superior performance. The superior quality results from the increased friction on the surface between tip and ring such that a desirable wrist shot is easily delivered. The frictional property exceeds smoothly painted wood surfaces. The new improved sticks will show better cost effectiveness therefore bringing a bonus to the playing and parenting community encompassed by the sport of ringette in Canada. The epoxy-particle version is made of marine epoxy glue with imbedded particles in the glue that do not extrude more than 1 mm beyond the ring tip flat surfaces in any direction. . In both cases improvement of the ringette shooting device [stick] properties, particularly regarding the ring lift creates a more deliverable and higher velocity shot using the conventional ringette ring. The improvement in airborne deliverability is much needed and wanted by younger age ringette players; ages 5-14. When shooting, higher velocity through the air leads to vastly superior scoring performance and consequent enjoyment.</p> |
