When you go to the pro shop to pick out a stick, you want one thats going to complement your
game. If you are a big defenseman with a booming shot from the point you don't want a stick thats
an 85 flex with an open curve. You want something stiffer that a big 220lb defenseman isn't going
to snap like a twig. You want something that is going to keep your shot low so it can get through
traffic and be tipped.
A strong powerful defenseman would want to use a stick that is a 100 flex or more and use a
curve that is not very big or open since you don't want your shots knocking your forward's teeth
out. As a forward the curve is usually based on personal preference but if you are a forward who is
always hanging around the net you may want an open curve to lift the puck over a sprawled out
goalie. As for the flex if you are a shorter player you would want to go with a 75 or at the most an
85 flex. When you cut a stick down the flex gets higher, so you might buy a stick that says it's an
85 flex but when you cut it down it's a 100 flex. As for the price and technology of hockey sticks
today there is a bit of a difference.
The most expensive sticks on the market today are made for performance not durability, so if your
a weekend warrior $250 is a bit much to spend on a stick that might not last that long. Almost
every brand has lower priced models that are much more durable but still offer a high level of
performance.
If you are looking for a high level stick that is still durable, I recommend the Easton Synergy Elite.
It is one of the lightest sticks on the market but is also very durable. The Easton Elite comes in
many patterns and flexes, you will definitely find one that complements your game. A great place
to find sticks is eBay. You can save alot of money buying your sticks on eBay, you can even get
pro stock sticks that were made for NHL players cheaper than most retail versions. Just do a
search for pro stock hockey or pro hockey sticks and you will find many to choose from. So find
the perfect stick at hockey giant or on eBay and go become a sniper.
