UNIHOC UNILITE MID 29 - DLX Oval (25/26)

The DLX design was launched during the 24/25 season and quickly became a talking point in the floorball world. The shiny shaft in all the colors of the rainbow really stood out from the black shafts that have dominated design-wise in recent seasons. 
According to Unihoc, the DLX sticks were a success, and that is why they have chosen to continue spinning the same design language when they were going to manufacture Justus Kainulainen's (!) stick.

Kainulainen is one of the very best players in the world, and perhaps the most important cog in the Finnish national team that took home the World Cup gold in 2024. Ahead of the 25/26 season, Justus signed for Unihoc, and will play with their sticks for the next few seasons. So this is the first season they have manufactured this stick together.

The DLX stick comes in three different designs:
- The official stick that Kainulainen himself plays with, a MAX 27 in an oval design.
- A round MAX 27 that is better suited for the Swedish market.
- A JR model with a MID 29 shaft and a slightly different finish on the shaft, but in the same color theme.

All models feature Unihoc's most popular blade, UNILITE, in Titan plastic (PP+). 
UNILITE is an extremely light blade (only 64.5 grams) and has a lovely cupping and forehook, which makes it a versatile blade that most people can play with. It is a relatively small blade, and incredibly smooth to dribble and pass with. 

This particular stick has a MID shaft, i.e. 40% carbon fiber and 60% fiberglass. This combination makes the shaft impact-resistant and durable, while being smooth to play with. Together with the light UNILITE blade at the bottom, you get a very well-balanced stick, and it is also relatively cheap compared to sticks with a higher proportion of carbon fiber.
The grip profile is oval, which is absolutely the most popular among Finnish players.
Flex 29 mm is one of the most popular shaft stiffnesses, especially among junior players and women.
