Futurelab NXT Bow Hockey Stick – PRIDE Edition

This extraordinary stick has been collaboratively designed by our talented athletes and esteemed LGBTQI+ ambassadors, Anne Veenendaal (Oranje Hockey, NL), Abi Raye (Red Panthers, BE) and endorsed by Simon Gougnard (Bel Lions, BE).

Introducing the FutureLab, our most advanced and lightweight creation to date. This remarkable stick embodies the essence of the future, tailored for those who possess an innate desire to stand out and excel.

The Futurelab collection is Osaka’s answer to the new design trend that has come to the sport in recent years. Composites have allowed manufacturers to approach shape design more boldly than we have ever been able to, so we rolled up our sleeves and got to work on this one.
First of all we decided to remain true to the general shape and geometry of the sticks we have designed and constructed over the past 10 years. We have remained within the constraints to ensure we maintain our trademark Osaka feeling when controlling and hitting the ball. Unique features include: The hookslot, we have taken a chunk out of the hook, this gives you greater control when dragging the ball or performing skills.We have also completely redesigned the backside of the stick, the carefully designed geometry ensures we have more surface area which results in extra stiffness at a reduced weight penalty. Simply put, these sticks are lighter but offer better stiffness than their traditional counterparts. We anticipate that the Futurelab collection will lay the framework for all our future stick design endeavours.
