The Sherwood Code Photon 1 Hockey Stick is built for elite playmakers seeking featherweight pro-level performance (390 grams), exceptional puck control, and a supercharged shot release.
Sherwood pairs its premium FeatherLite XT construction with Blackline NXT aerospace-grade carbon fiber, delivering an ultra-lightweight build without sacrificing strength. Energized Velocity Taper (EVT) creates a unique, easy-to-grip shaft geometry with a hybrid kick point that combines a lightning-quick release, powerful shots, and minimal loading effort for the versatility today's playmakers demand.
At the blade, VR92 dampening material reduces vibration for a cleaner, more connected puck feel, while reinforced heel and toe sections improve impact resistance and help preserve blade performance over time. Rounding out the stick is Sherwood's Tactile Grip finish, featuring two 3D-raised texture zones that promote smooth hand transitions for confident stickhandling, crisp passing, and pinpoint shooting. Intermediate models feature Sherwood's age-specific I-Shaft geometry, designed with smaller hands in mind for a more comfortable, confident grip.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Blackline NXT Aerospace-grade carbon fiber creates an ultra-high strength structure to deliver performance, consistency, and durability.
Energized Velocity Taper (EVT) With a completely redesigned taper and all-new shaft dimensions that enhance energy transfer provides the most efficient and effortless shot release from Sherwood to date.
VR92 Blade Reinforcements Strategically placed dampening material in the blade reduces vibration and increases feel while reinforcements in the heel and toe increase impact resistance and blade durability.
Tactile Grip Boosts energy transfer and accuracy with two 3D-raised texture zones on the stick.
FeatherLite XT Optimized balance point set higher on the shaft supercharges shots and puck control.
We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks.
