Bought one, will be used for chucking arials from the 16. I will be interested to compare it to the original crown stick, i had the most lethal hit in my club with it haha. Love ur sticks, amazing quality. They last less long than other brands tho, so expect to send back for a touch up every few seasons (a service they helpfully provide btw)
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?
We have no idea about Mazon sticks, but the LIFT is still a Crown stick, so it's not manufactured in the normal way by the normal factories. It is made by us, and so will feel like a completely different product. It isn't really comparable.
@@CrownHockey whenever someone explains why it’s not wrong, before asked, lying. It was also a joke. Ever since my daughter started playing I’ve been wanting to drill a hole in the candy and part, add ball bearings and re-seal
