How to choose the right hockey stick

The three main factors when picking a hockey stick are flex, length, and curve pattern. As a general rule, your flex should be roughly half your body weight in pounds. For length, an uncut stick should reach somewhere between your chin and nose when you're standing in shoes. Left or right hand refers to which hand sits lower on the shaft.

Understanding stick flex

Youth sticks typically range from 30-40 flex, Junior from 40-55, Intermediate from 55-70, and Senior from 70-110+. A lower flex makes it easier to load the shaft for wrist shots, while a higher flex gives more power on slap shots. Cutting a stick increases the effective flex by about 5 points per inch removed.
