Frequently Asked Questions
What flex hockey stick should I use?
A common guideline is to use a flex rating equal to about half your body weight in pounds.
Does position affect stick flex?
Yes, defensemen often prefer slightly stiffer sticks for slap shots while forwards may prefer softer flex for quick releases.
What is kick point?
Kick point is where the stick flexes most. Low kick helps wrist shots; mid kick helps slap shots.
