Abstract
The present invention, relates to a hockey stick shaft or handle having both a forward and a rear gripping zone. The gripping zones each have elongated opposed faces which are of different configuration from each other. For example each gripping zone may be provided with opposed concave and convex faces but wherein the faces of one gripping zone are disposed in reversed relative relation to the other gripping zone in order to accomodate the different gripping position of each hand of a user. A hockey stick provided with such a handle may provide a sense of a better or more comfortable feel on the gripped portion of the handle and/or a sense of a more comfortable and precise control of a blade which may be fixed to the end of such a handle.
