NEPHE Stick JR.
NEPHE Stick JR.
The same carbon as the SR.
Not a stripped-down stick.
This is where we don't compromise. Juniors far too often get downgraded gear, heavier and worse built, on the excuse that they'll grow out of it. The Stick JR uses exactly the same 18K carbon and exactly the same reinforced monobloc blade as the senior stick. It's simply calibrated for a lighter player.
Who it's for
| Flex 50 | Players under 55 kg. Soft enough for a junior to actually load the stick and trigger the catapult effect, instead of fighting a shaft that's too stiff. |
| P92 | Mid-open. The versatile curve. The right call for learning to shoot cleanly. |
| P28 | Full-open. Lifts the puck faster, for juniors who already like to finish. |
What's inside
No watered-down version to bring the price down. The junior gets the high density weave, just like the adults.
The structure stitched into the core of the blade absorbs vibration and stops the blade twisting. Juniors break sticks, often. This one is built to take it.
A genuine top-end weight. A stick that's too heavy ruins technique, and ruined technique takes years to fix.
Left or right, the weave is reinforced according to the hand. No neutral stick.
Low kick point
On the NEPHE Stick JR too, the flex zone isn't in the middle of the shaft, it's concentrated near the blade. That's a low kick point.
It loads and releases energy very fast, with a short windup. The result: a quick shot that works in tight space, the territory of the wrist shot and the snap shot.
It's the choice of the large majority of players today, forwards and defencemen alike, juniors included. The modern game moves faster, and release speed often counts for more than the power of a big windup.
It pairs naturally with the P28 curve: both are built to lift the puck fast and release in one motion.
| Kick point | Where the stick bends. Low on NEPHE, so close to the blade. |
| Flex | The stick's stiffness, fixed at 50 on the Stick JR. A different setting, complementary to the kick point. |

With NEPHE+ you choose what you want: the flex, the grip, the blade, the length, and even your name on the stick. As many personalisations as you like, all for one flat fee.
| Customisable | Flex, grip, blade, length, name... and whatever else, we will talk it through. |
| Fee | 20 CHF for the lot, no matter how many personalisations. |
| Lead time | 6 to 8 weeks, the time it takes to build it for you. |
