WEIGHT REDUCTION WHERE IT COUNTS

摘要

It was Sunday, Feb. 4, and I was thinking about weight reduction. Not the type of weight reduction people include in their New Year's resolutions, of course. It was February, so those were long forgotten. Besides, it was Super Bowl Sunday, so this was no time to think about that. I was thinking about my (heavy) hockey stick. I had my nose in a hockey book, and in a section on stick selection, the author stated that sticks were available in wood, composites, and aluminum. Wood was the original hockey stick material, and wooden hockey sticks are still popular today. They're not especially durable or lightweight. Their chief advantage seems to be price. If you shop around, you can get a wooden stick for less than 35 dollars.
