Sherwood has set out to put all of their technology into the Sher-Wood FC900 Senior Goalie Stick with a high-performance composite stock and carbon core paddle that combines the lightest composite stick they offer. To develop better grades than those of the GS950 stick series, Sherwood focused heavily on improving blade durability for the FC900. The result is a new design called Armor Heel technology, which is used specifically on the heel of the goalie stick. The Armor Heel is made of multiple layers of extremely durable and lightweight high-modulus carbon fiber that protects the heel from premature wear. The carbon plate is made up of multiple layers of extremely durable and lightweight high-modulus carbon fiber, which protects the inner foam core while maintaining the stick feel. The new Carbon Core blade results in improved blade adhesion, significantly improved durability and helps prevent premature breakage. Designing a better blade and construction weren't the only parts that went into the FC900 stick. Sherwood has developed a new shaft technology, the Duralight+ shaft, which is made of high-modulus carbon fiber and double-concave walls to help goalies maintain a secure grip during the puck game. This is the lightest shaft Sherwood offers for its poles. The shaft runs through the heel of the blade to prevent the stick from becoming soft over time, optimizing the responsiveness and performance of the stick.If you're an elite goalie looking for a true composite stick with a composite shaft, look no further than the Sher-Wood FC900 Senior Goalie Stick.
