1 Background Floorball is a relatively new sport that took its current form during the 1980’s. The number of players started to grow substantially in the end of that decade, from less than 1000 to the more then 120 000 that are licensed in Sweden today [1].Throughout the world, the number is soon to be 300 000 [2]. It should be noted that this is without the large amount of players that only plays with friends or associates. Because of this the market for floorball sticks is also growing which makes it important to have a position at the front of the development for the manufacturers. One possible way to do this is to advise other methods or technologies, where computational simulations can be one of them. Within the industry of e.g. tennis and golf equipment, where the resources are substantially larger, simulation tools have been used for several years. Using simulations, the forces acting on a stick can be determined which gives a better understanding of what demands one must have on a stick. This leads to the possibility to design a stick with better functionality and thereby push the development forward. These lines are the foundation and the reason for this Master’s Thesis.
