I was watching the olympics and wondered why none of the players had a crown stick (at least not that I spotted) which is unfortunate I suppose. Is the only reason that you do not have enough publicity yet? I might potentially buy one but I want to be able to test them, and which I can’t do because nobody I know has one of these. Is there a way to test them and is it worth it for someone on about the level of Kent u16s (didn’t make team but I am roughly at the level lol)
@@frankshush unfortunately it's a money issue. Crown is currently a volunteer run company, and so we have never had a marketing budget, we cannot pay people to use are products. But please don't think all hockey players are greedy. For most the extra sponsorship money means a different standard of life ( hockey players aren't paid very much) most are 'kind-of' expected to have 5-10k extra yearly sponsorship money to live as a full time hockey player. Although on occasion we have had pro players use are sticks and reject the money 😉 We are all about making the best sticks and put all our money into the product/research and development. Great question.
@@CrownHockey send one to bossFhockey or the hockeypaper stick reviews! Ok it might not be super effective but they are my go to when I am looking at a stick and it would show people a relatively unbiased review of the stick (maybe a bit biased because you are sending it to them) but that's even better ig. Despite that, what you are doing now is very likely the best course of action with marketing on social media. I suppose if you really do not make enough profit from being a relatively underground stick company then sending a stick or two away for something that might not work could be a bit of a challenge, although I do not know how much it costs you to make a stick - do you think you make less profit off each stick than companies like grays, osaka and other competitors?

@@weetjijwel050 We thought the same. A few years ago when we created the first foot shield prototypes they had left and right panels of carbon. Then we moved towards a big curve that curved around the sides of your foot. But, all of these larger prototypes were more likely to be uncomfortable (as they were more difficult to tailor to different foot/shoe sizes) and they were, by nature, more bulky and heavier. Over the years we moved towards just the front, as the front is the important bit, the front of your foot is most likely part to be hit by a dragflick.
@@CrownHockey Ah, yup, i understand. How about integrating it in the shoe itself? Like 3 components, not too big ofc, but just big enough to protect some of the week spots of the shoe? No need to reply, im just thinking out loud 🤪. Thing is, when a runner runs (on a hort corner), just before they reach the one that will push/strike the ball, they usually turn a bot. So im thinking the side of the mid of the foot will get the hardest punch. Havent done the science, so could be wrong..
@@weetjijwel050 I really REALLY like the idea of putting pieces of carbon in shoes, but at the moment we do not manufacture shoes. Maybe in the future.
The most expensive is the crown LIFT stick, but it might not be the best stick for you, it is a specialist Dragflicker's stick. So, it is the best if you dragflick 😉
