The nature of field hockey means that all sticks, no matter how well made, do have a breaking point. Talon is constantly searching for ways to improve the strength of its sticks. However in pursuit of greater strength we often have to compromise on elements such as weight and balance. We could manufacture a stick that won’t break, however we doubt that hockey players would want to play with it!

The following answer assumes that you are using a "Mode II" setup. This is by far the most common setup in your humble FAQ author's North American experience, but he's heard rumours of "Mode I" helicopter flyers in Europe and Japan. The right stick controls the helicopter's orientation on the pitch and roll axes. It's easiest to understand if you picture a little helicopter perched on top of the stick..

No. While there are still a few retailers around with a few Power Series sticks, Talon ceased production for these sticks in January 2006. While we know some of you loved these sticks because of their uniqueness, most of today’s hockey players are now looking for sticks with larger bows and thinner shafts. Producing these sticks in such small batches meant we had to price them to the customer at a higher level.

Talon has remained in the hockey stick manufacturing business continuously since 1980. Talon sticks were widely distributed through the 80s and early 90s, however distribution has almost exclusively been restricted to our website over the past 8-10 years. Now under new ownership, the Talon team are aware that many hockey people are asking this question, and we are committing to ensuring everybody knows about us again.

For the time being, our range is only as large as listed in our Accessories area.

this point Talon does not offer a range of Goalie equipment. A number of goalies do like our T5000 stick, and are using this as a goalie stick, even though this stick was designed for the field. Over the next 6-12 months, our research team will be continuing to look more closely at gear for goalies. We will however only introduce gear that we believe is equal to or better than the current top of the range gear.

There are only minor differences between the three. Engine and drivetrain remain the same while a few body parts are different. Example, Talons have different bumpers and side skirts than the same year eclipse. You can read some more info on each trim level here.

A - The heat molding will break the skates in to an extent, but basically the more you skate in them, the more heat your feet will produce and this will eventually break them in by softening and stretching them.

The way I have always done it is to actively adjust my engines during break-in. During this time the engine can change several times so as soon at it does I land and adjust it. To begin with, on the first tank I first get it so rich that it hovers a little above middle stick. Hover for a couple minutes then let it idle for a minute to cool down. Do this for a whole tank. Let the engine cool, then on the 2nd tank you can hover and move around (at a slow walking pace).

Wear the cleat during the last half of a practice; do this a couple of times before wearing in a game Wet the leather shoe to help soften it up while wearing first then put shoe trees inside to let the shoe dry evenly

After the icebergs break off, they start to move with the tides, the ocean currents, and minor effects from the wind and rotation of the earth. To see more, check out the movies at: http://tstorm.ssec.wisc.edu/iceberg.html Our best guess so far is that it will move to the west, and slowly at that.

Since the body can only store a two-day supply of glucose in the form of glycogen when consuming 20 grams of carbs a day, it normally takes two to three days for your body to go into Ketosis. If you are past the two or three days, and still not in Ketosis, check more closely the number of carbohydrates you are eating. You may be eating more carbs than you think. Another thing to consider is that the sticks do expire. Check the date to make sure you have a fresh pack.

A Yes, and we'll give you full instructions for this during your appointment. For styling, fibre is a wonderful medium to work with - unlike real hair, it does what you tell it to! That's because it reacts well to heat and will stay in position once set. This means you can easily achieve some truly creative styles and, if you wish, change your style at whim. For instance, wrap the fibre round your hand, give it a blast with the hairdryer and you'll achieve a beautifully natural wave.

The cost of wooden sticks is determined by the level of reinforcement on the shaft. Cheaper sticks may only be reinforced with fibreglass, whereas the more expensive sticks will have strips of carbon coating the shaft giving increased stiffness and power. In addition Kevlar or aramid may be added to dampen vibrations. The cost of composite sticks is directly proportional to the percentage of carbon making up the stick.

Generally, they are made of northern white ash or rock elm. The handle is one piece and the laminated blade is affixed to it. Sticks may not exceed 63 inches in length. Modern-day sticks are now also made with fiberglass, plastic and graphite as well.

Far from it. Just as baseball players have their individual personalized bats, so too do hockey players have their "patterned" sticks. Flexibility, lie (angle of the blade), weight, etc., vary from player to player.

Steaks and other meats will stick on contact with hot pan. Do not attempt to turn them until they have browned. At that point, they will detach them until they have browned. At that point, they will detach themselves and can be turned easily with only the slightest resistance. The second side required less cooking than the first. Thick steaks, chops or hamburgers should be turned several times.
