<P> Fiberglass , along with the traditional wood , was the first composite stick material , being added as laminate or coating to wooden sticks . Manufacturers have experimented with 100 % fiberglass ice hockey sticks , but they suffered from poor `` feel '' and poor durability and never really caught on .
