2.1 The stick:
a the stick has had a traditional shape which will be retained
b no particular handle or head shape or design has been approved, but the
introduction of extreme shapes or designs outside the specified
parameters will not be permitted.
2.2 Diagrams of the stick:
a descriptions and specifications in this Rule relate to figures
b the stick comprises two identifiable parts, the handle and the head
c the stick is shown in both figures with the handle in a vertical position, in
the main perpendicular to a level horizontal surface (the X-axis)
d the curved base of the head is shown placed on the X-axis, which is the
start of its vertical length (the Y-axis)
e the head terminates at a line C - C drawn parallel to the X-axis, 100 mm
along the Y-axis, in a positive direction (towards Y+)
f the Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis; for measurement purposes the
stick is aligned so that the Y-axis passes through the centre of the top of
the handle
g the handle starts at the line C - C and continues in the direction Y+. |

2.3 Shape and dimensions of the stick:
a the entire stick must be smooth and must not have any rough or sharp
parts
b the handle and head must be of one smooth continuous cross-section
along the line C - C
c the head must be a ‘J’ or ‘U’ shape the upturned or open end of which is
limited by the line C - C
d the head is not limited along the X-axis
e the head must be flat on the left hand side only (the side which is to the
player's left when the stick is held with the open end of the head pointing
directly away from the player's front, i.e. the side shown in the diagrams)
