01
Graphics are a clue, not proof.
A FLYLITE graphic does not automatically mean Vapor construction. We separate the visible graphic from the physical build.
NHL PRO-STOCK INTELLIGENCE
The stick behind the graphics.
The graphics can change overnight. The construction underneath may be years old. StickDNA tracks the actual build, kick point, flex, curve and pro specification — and shows the evidence behind every claim.
Unknown stays unknown until the evidence supports it.

02
Actual mold, then retail family.
Custom player curves stay custom where evidence exists. Retail comparisons are labelled as comparisons, not silently treated as exact matches.
03
Every claim has a confidence level.
Readable codes and primary sources sit above inference. Historical evidence remains historical. Unknown is an acceptable answer.
LEAGUE INTELLIGENCE
NHL Stick Census
Individual research becomes league-level intelligence: actual kick-point share, visible versus underlying brands, common constructions, graphics/build mismatches and the players who change sticks most often.
THE RECURRING STORY
Behind the Graphics
Every meaningful mismatch becomes a research record — and potentially a story. New graphics, old chassis. Legacy builds that refuse to die. Actual curve molds hiding behind retail names.
