COMPOSITE
FIELD HOCKEY STICKS AND DAMAGE UNDER WARRANTY Field
hockey sticks purchased from Longstreth are covered under our warranty
for six months from the date of purchase unless otherwise noted.
Please
be aware that vibration is to be expected with composite field hockey
sticks and is not covered under our warranty.
Any
breakage, splintering, or chipping that creates dangerous or sharp
edges, or otherwise renders a stick illegal, is covered under our
warranty. (Fig.A) Striking
of the ball with the forward edge of the stick stresses the stick in a
manner it’s not manufactured to withstand.
Damage that occurs from striking the ball with the forward edge
of your stick is not covered under Longstreth’s warranty. Please
remember that graphics are an inessential and cosmetic element of your
composite stick, purely for decoration. Graphics
and paint will normally chip almost immediately with any serious playing
time. Playability is in no way
affected, and we encourage customers to anticipate chipping on their
composite sticks. (Fig. B) Shaft
guard will greatly diminish chipping, but remember, removal of shaft
guard will deface graphics. Graphics
may also chip slightly in the stick’s journey from its overseas
production facility to Longstreth, or from Longstreth to you.
We strongly encourage concerned customers to simply cover such
chips with nail polish or epoxy. Returns
of such sticks are strongly discouraged, since the playability and
integrity of the stick is in no way impacted, and since chipping is to
be anticipated anyway. Finally,
save your stick for the playing field, for practices and games, and for
striking field hockey balls only. Your
field hockey stick is not intended for striking other sticks, benches,
or goal posts, or for use on concrete, macadam, or other unconventional
playing surfaces. Damage
resulting from such misuse will not be covered under Longstreth’s
warranty. For
return authorizations or other questions, please call us at
