Recently I broke my cherished eight-year-old wooden hockey stick, so with a heavy heart I began the confusing process of choosing a new stick. Having only used wooden hockey sticks in the past I thought I would just replace it with a similar stick. So I was dumbstruck when I started to search the web and got bombarded with options for composite and wooden sticks of varying weight, lengths and shapes. After days of research and a bit of experience I thought I'd publish my findings to help other hockey players when choosing their next stick.
Long gone are the days of hockey sticks made purely from wood and wrapped with a bit of towelling for grip. With advances in technology wooden sticks began to be reinforced with materials such as glass fibre, aramid, and kevlar to a point where now you can buy 'wood free' composite sticks. Heated arguments on whether wood or composite hockey sticks are best fill many a clubhouse, but in the end it's down to personal preference. Choices on materials aside there are other factors to consider when buying a hockey stick such as weight, length and shape.
The most popular weight (based on availability) seems to be light, which suits players who need fast tight control of the ball such as forwards. Medium and heavy sticks are more suited to defensive players who need to tackle, hit and stop the ball with greater strength. When choosing the length of a stick it comes down to basically how tall you are. Short people have short sticks and tall people have longer sticks, get it the wrong way round and you either miss the ball or hit the pitch.
The shape of a stick differs in the bend or 'bow' in the shaft and the size of the head. Generally the greater the curve in the shaft the better it is for flicking, but it also gives more flexibility and some say more power to the stick. The head comes in three different shapes midi, maxi and hook. Midi is the smallest and useful for reverse stick control and hitting, maxi heads are larger therefore great for stopping and hitting the ball, whereas hooks have the largest surface area and so are even better for stopping, hitting and particular useful for flicking.
Essentially when choosing your field hockey stick consider where you play regularly and try a few different ones out if you can.

Tips on Installing a New Designer Radiator or Towel Rail
From time to time we all like a change of décor within our homes, and who can blame us!? If this sounds a bit like something you've got planned for the near future then why not try adding a statement of chic sophistication by introducing a designer radiator. Designer radiators are the perfect addition for providing that much needed character and a touch of flair to a dull or tired room.
Once you have purchased your new luxury designer radiator or towel rail it is time to install. It is advisable to use the services of a professional when plumbing, however changing a radiator is pretty simple as long as you follow the guidelines.
Turning off the water supply
Turn off your water supply to the existing radiator.
Turn off your central heating system and allow all pipework and radiators to cool.
Turn the manual "control" (Large head with digits) valve to the "OFF" position - (at the opposite end of the radiator you will find the "lock shield" valve)
Remove the protective top cap from the "lock shield" valve and use a wrench to turn the top piece clockwise as far as possible (Don't forget to count the number of turns required, as this must be reversed once you replace the radiator).
Step 3 - Draining the old radiator
Place a large bowl or bucket underneath the manual "control" valve.
Grip the valve with a wrench and hold it steady whilst using another wrench to gently loosen the nut on the valve that connects to the radiator
Next you will need to vent the radiator of air to break any vacuum that may be inside and allow the water to flow from the control valve. Do this by using the air bleed cap on the top edge of the radiator.
Use a towel or old cloths/rags to catch any drips from the bleed valve.
Continue to drain all of the fluid from the radiator out of the control entry until the flow stops.
Rehanging the radiator/Hanging your new radiator
Fit the hanging brackets to the wall according to the manufacturer's specific instructions.
Now that you're ready to hang the radiator, wrap a piece of PTFE tape (also known as thread seal) about 15cm long around the valve threads.
When fitting a new radiator or towel rail that is the same width as the previous remember to fit the valves first according to the manufacturer's directions before fitting the product onto the wall. Then open the valves to fill the radiator from the central heating system.
Lift the radiator/towel rail onto the wall brackets and tighten the fittings - You may need help to lift the radiator.
Open the manual control or thermostatic valve fully and then open the bleed valve at the top/rear of the radiator - Water will now fill the radiator.
Once the water has stopped filling (a gurgling sound will cease), open the lock shield valve by the same number of turns you needed to close it.
Double check all joints are water tight and tighten if necessary, now turn on your central heating system and re-check once more.
If you plan to replace your old radiator with an updated design or sized radiator/ towel rail, the pipework may not connect up exactly.
In this case you will need to drain your central heating system so that pipes directly under the floor can be replaced or adjusted to fit onto the new radiator.
Unless you are experienced in this type of DIY we would suggest that you call a fully qualified plumber to fit the new radiator or towel rail for you.

Basketball shoes and friction.?
My basketball shoes have recently been very slippery when i am playing on a hardwood floor. is there any way to help them get more grip and friction. if your theory is spit on them, rub them or stomp on a damp towel, then i don't want to hear it. is there any spray that will make them have more grip???
Yes. For one, they have sticky boards which have a chemical on them that adds a "sticky" material to your shoes to add traction.
Second, they have a sticky spray, and you just spray it on your shoes before you play and it adds traction to it. You can get it at any sports shop if you have one, or at a shoe store.
