Instant RAGE-ification! The making of your very own custom stick

In the last blog post we showed you how we work with customers to make awesome designs for them. We thought it would be a good idea to show you the rest of the process as well. When you place an order, we ask you to choose a Base Model and the length/weight. A Base Model can be any stick that we have on offer at http://www.ragehockey.com/ Once we have this information and the design is finalized… we are ready to get the process started Step 1: Selection First off we select the stick based on the mold shape and the weight. All the raw sticks that we have in stock are uncut, so we can cut them at the desired length.

Step 2: Preparing the surface We need to prepare the raw stick so that it becomes perfectly even and apply a layer of primer so that other layers of paint and lacquer can latch on to it. This involves cleaning, sanding, coating of primer and then sanding again.

Step 3: Paint Then we spray paint the desired color and leave it to cure in a heat furnace overnight.  

Step 4: Application of the graphics After the paint is cured, comes the most important stage, applying the graphics using a water-based transfer technique.  The stick is left for a while to dry naturally.

Step 5: Strengthening Immediately after the stick is dried, the strengthening process is started. This step is the most time consuming and involves multiple coats of PU lacquer where the curing time after each coat is 6 to 8 hours.   

Step 6: Finishing Now the stick is almost ready to go… In this step, we cut the stick in the required length, apply the end-cap, put on the grip and shrink wrap to avoid any nicks during transit.

Step 7: Dispatch Lastly the parcel is prepared and handed over to our good friends at DHL.

There you have it, the journey of your custom built stick from design to dispatch! If you have any questions or would like to order your very own customized field hockey stick visit us at http://custom.ragehockey.com/

At http://custom.ragehockey.com/ we are seeing a lot of traffic and one of the highlights of the page is the Online Stick Designer in the Order section. It’s great to see how people are interacting with the plugin and we are constantly getting feedback on what to improve. This plugin is a work in progress and the eventual goal is to make a sturdy enough tool through which even complex designs can be made easily. You can use the Online design as a reference tool through which you just need to indicate what you want your stick to look like and before we process your order, we will send you a high-res design proof based on your given layout. To show you what that looks like… This is a reference layout that we got for one of the orders through the website

And that is all our talented RAGE designers needed to whip up a brilliant design in less than 3 hours

We are glad to report that Michael loved our rendition of it and he will be getting his custom designed stick very soon!

So, head on over to http://custom.ragehockey.com/custom-field-hockey-design/ and just give us a layout or a general direction of what you want the stick to look like through the online tool. We’ll hook you up with a RAGE-ified version that you will simply love!
