We don't have a comparator for hockey sticks but we built the same machine for hockey sticks (
https://soothski.com/technology-measure-ski-properties/). It is in used for quality control, R&D, benchmarking, etc.
Hockey sticks are challenging to test and many informations are missing, like the flex on the minor axis (not always proportional to the flex of the major axis), the torsional stiffness of the shaft and the blade stiffness. Mass properties (mass and mass distribution) are also super important because you are dealing with impacts.
But yeah, the big question is what is relevant? Hockey players seems less particular about their sticks than skiers about their skis! :-)
