When I played field hockey at school (back in the 60s), all hockey sticks were made with the same side flat, so all players had to use the same grip and stroke. A real disadvantage for us lefties! As far as I can find, this is still the case, although there is nothing in writing forbidding having the opposite face flat and playing left-handed - the only stipulation is that only the flat face can be used to strike the ball. "The stick in England, possibly because of the close association with it of cricket players, developed with a stick with just one flat playing side, the left face, below a round grip area - with the use of the right-face side, which is rounded, prohibited - an oddity that had a profound effect on the later development of the hockey stick and of the game itself." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_hockey_stick Jul 21 09, 1:24 AM
