.
public class WoodenStick extends HockeyStick {
public static final String material = "WOOD";
public int lie;
public int flex;
public WoodenStick(int length, boolean isCurved){
super(length, isCurved, material);
}
public WoodenStick(int length, boolean isCurved, int
lie, int flex){
super(length, isCurved, material);
this.lie = lie;
this.flex = flex;
}
}
