VX HES

VX HES is the name of the lightweight floorball sticks by OxDog. The VX HES shafts are made of premium carbon. Although this premium carbon has managed to reduce the weight of these sticks, their weight is around +/- 230 grams. On the other hand, their balance and especially their durability is excellent. VX HES shafts give you perfect balance, hard and accurate shots and really high durability. The main difference of this series compared to other series is the technology: TRIAD-X shaft - special shaft profile. This is not a grip profile, but the shape of the shaft between the blade and the grip. The Triad shaft is a triangle shaped shaft with a molded X shape. According to the manufacturer, this shaft is more durable and offers you higher stick speed = sharper shots!

You can find all the Oxdog technologies directly on the stick. There are pictures of the used technologies on the floorball stick. Here is the list of them:

• LC - Sticks with LC have a lightweight plug. The plug is smaller, thinner and lighter. Lighter plug = lighter stick. The plug is so small that you may feel like there is no one on the stick. This suits some players, but there are also those who need a bigger plug because it helps them better control their stick.
• Super light shaft - This is the designation of the weight category to which the stick belongs. OxDog uses 4 weight categories for its floorball sticks: Hyper light shaft, Ultra light shaft, Super light shaft and Light shaft. Super light shaft sticks are one of the lightest sticks by OxDog.
• CPB - CARBON POLYMER BLADE - Sticks with this designation are equipped with a carbon blade. More information about the carbon blade can be found below.
• Triad-X shaft - Triad shaft technology is a label for a special shaft profile. This is not a holding profile (ROUND, OVAL / SWEOVAL, D-OVAL), but the shape of the shaft between the blade and the grip. The Triad shaft is a triangle shaped shaft with a molded X shape. This shaft shape makes your floorball stick more durable and offers you higher stick speed = sharper shots!
• Carbon T2200 - OxDog uses several types of carbon from T600 to T2500/HP2700. The T600 carbon is the heaviest carbon and the T2500/HP2700 carbon is the lightest one. The heavier sticks are more durable than those with low weight. The OxDog carbon stick has the following labels: "carbon T/HP + number indicating the quality of the carbon".
• Blow molded - Blow Molded is pressing floorball shafts by using air pressure. The material with the resin (the glue that holds the floorball stick together) is inserted into the mold and around the air bladder at the same time. The shaft mold is heated to the desired temperature. The air bladder begins to fill with air when this temperature is reached. This bladder pushes the material from the center of the mold to its edge. Any sticks shape (oval, round, hockey) can be made by this method. Floorball shafts made in this way have perfect balance and high strength.
• Hyper fast is the category of your stick strength and speed. OxDog divides its shafts into 4 groups (Hyper, Ultra, Super and Medium fast). Floorball shafts Hyper fast have the highest speed and thus transfer the most energy to your shots. So hyper fast sticks are the fastest sticks!
• HES resin is type of resin used for this sticks. Lightweight HES resin is used to achieve the lightest possible stick. So the shaft with HES resin are the lightweight floorball sticks.

HES - or HIGH ENERGY SHAFT. This is a unique combination of stick technology. The combination of these factors creates sticks, which are:

• extremely light
• high strength
• at least 20% faster
• have almost twice the service life
