Designed for Goalies by Goalies. Although the Straight As GK Stick from OBO is shaped like a field stick, it has been purposefully designed to fit with the goalkeeper’s stance and grip by altering the weight and balance, allowing you to have the best of both worlds.  Quickly becoming the favorite stick of Goalies world wide!

USA Women's National Team Goalkeeper Lauren Blazing Review of the Straight As:

Over the past five years, I've played with a number of sticks. I used a Grays GX5000, an STX indoor stick, and a Harrow Ninja before switching to the Straight As this year. I absolutely love this stick. I immediately noticed a difference in my tackling when I switched from the Ninja to the Straight As. It's a little heavier than the other sticks I've used, which means it's great for getting a good rebound on stick tackles, intercepts, when I'm sweeping the ball on the ground, or on a fast paced shot. It's also pretty long, which is an added bonus for any ground skills.

The fact that the ball rebounds off with such a pop makes the stick feel light even though it's not as skinny as the sticks I used to use. It feels really natural in my hand for aerial saves, even though my previous stick had the traditional gk head and this one is shaped like a field player's stick.

I think if you are planning to play at a pretty high level, this is a great stick to use. Younger gks might want a smaller or lighter stick to start out with, since learning to make aerial saves with the longer, heavier stick might be tough for people with little hands.

Happy Hockey!
