<p>The present invention relates to a device structured for hand control in t he playing of a sporting game. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved stick used to play the game of ringette. The ringette stick comprises a generally elongated stem, tip reinforcing means and a tip assembly. The generally elongated stem is provided to be lightweight and durable as well as substantially rigi d with controlled flex. The tip reinforcing means provides additional strength to t he tip assembly and decreases the likelihood of breakage between the stem and the t ip assembly. The tip assembly is typically made of polyurethane, which can be easily secured to the stem. In addition, the use of polyurethane in the tip assembl y improves a player's ability to control and manipulate the ring, by making it easier t o lift the ring off the ice during a shot. Furthermore, the polyurethane tip assembly is more resistant to wear than conventional ringette tips.</p> |
