The Importance of Choosing the Right Polo Stick

The thrill of polo lies in its rapid play and strategy, demanding a blend of skill and the right equipment. Your polo influences your ability to control the ball and match your pony's speed and agility. The right stick can improve your accuracy, power, and overall comfort during play, making it essential to choose wisely.

Selecting the right stick involves more than just picking one off the rack. Factors such as weight, balance, and flexibility can significantly impact your game. Beyond performance, a bespoke polo stick can also reflect your personal style, allowing you to stand out on the field not just for your skills but for your distinct choice of gear.

Venturing into the world of polo stick selection may seem daunting, but with a bit of guidance, you'll be well on your way to making an informed choice that complements both your playing style and physical attributes.

Understanding the Basics Types of Polo Sticks and Materials Used

Here at Emita Polo, we are the UK's number 1 Polo Stick manufacturer, so we know a thing or two about what makes quality Polo Sticks. At the heart of every great polo stick lies its construction, and our team has over 40 years of combined experience in doing this.

We make all of our Sticks from cane, specifically the Malaysian manau cane, as it's known for its durability and flexibility.

The head of the stick is another critical component, made from Argentinean tipa wood, prized for its strength and impact resistance. Together, these materials create a well-balanced stick that offers a consistent feel during play, essential for maintaining control and precision.

Sizing and Weight Considerations for Polo Sticks

Finding the perfect fit in terms of size and weight can transform your experience on the field. Polo sticks typically range from 50 to 54 inches in length, with the ideal size depending on your height and your pony's height. A well-sized stick ensures optimal control and manoeuvrability, allowing you to play with confidence.

Weight plays a crucial role in a player's swing speed and control. Lighter sticks are often preferred by players who rely on speed and agility, while heavier sticks can provide additional power for long shots. Balancing weight and size is key to finding a stick that complements your style and enhances your strengths.

Customisation options, such as adjusting the handle size and cane stiffness, further allow you to tailor your stick to match your specific requirements. Personalised adjustments can make a significant difference in comfort and performance, ensuring that your stick feels like a natural extension of your arm.

This level of personalisation not only enhances your playing experience but also makes your stick truly your own.

Customisation is an investment in both style and performance, providing you with a bespoke polo stick that perfectly aligns with your preferences and playing requirements.
