CKF85 Pro — Pro shape with a Balanced / Direct response
The Evolution CKF85 Pro is for players who want Mercian's broad all-round Pro shape with a Balanced / Direct response.
Why choose the CKF85 Pro?
Choose this stick when all-round low-bow shape suits the player and you want a more direct response than Mercian's Balanced constructions without moving to the most direct end of the range.
Pro bend / shape
Pro is Mercian's broad all-round low-bow route. The current CKF85 Pro specification gives a 23.5 mm maximum bend at 230 mm from the head, supporting a versatile mix of receiving, carrying, passing and striking.
Balanced / Direct response
The CKF85 Pro sits in Mercian's Balanced / Direct response band. Its current construction combines 85% carbon, 10% fibreglass and 5% Kevlar.
Construction, touch and control
- High-friction face finish: increases contact friction and adds damping.
- Nano-polymer resin: strengthens laminate bonding and helps reduce delamination risk.
- Tungsten Carbide Diffused Kevlar: supports durability.
- Piezo-electric fibres: provide additional vibration management.
These features help explain the finished stick. They do not replace the more important bend and response decisions.
When another current option may suit better
If you want the same broad all-round route with a more balanced response, compare CKF55 Pro or CKF65 Pro. If you want a more direct response, compare CF95 Pro. Choose by the response you can use, not by treating the models as a quality ladder.
Sizes
The current product is configured in 36.5", 37.5" and 39". Live availability is shown above.

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.
