Mercian Genesis CF5 (2021)
Mercian Genesis CF5 (2021)
2021 legacy model. The Genesis CF5 remains a valid Mercian choice where the player's fit, listed Standard or Pro shape and preference for a softer response match. It is previous-generation stock: price and remaining availability are purchase trade-offs, not reasons for suitability.
How it fits the Mercian choice system
- Fit: 30-inch to 37.5-inch lengths.
- Bend: Standard on the shorter listed variants and Pro on the longer listed variants; choose the shape attached to the exact purchasable variant.
- Response: Softer — forgiving and controlled rather than highly direct.
Construction and feel
5% carbon with a predominantly fibreglass construction plus vibration-control material. Carbon percentage describes construction and response; it is not a player-level score.
Trade-off: choose the CF5 where fit, shape and softer response match, then compare legacy price and remaining stock with the current CF5. This is a 2021 legacy model, not the current range.

Check the player requirement before you buy.
Outdoor choice starts with fit and the hockey you actually play. Bend, shape and construction should explain a useful difference, not create a good-better-best ladder.
Position, player level and carbon percentage can help describe a stick, but none of them automatically decides what suits you.
