int. flex

[rausch27 1]

i just want to hear your opinion on this one , i want to buy an intermediate SL , but i dont know if the flex would be too whippy , im 16, 140lbs , decent strength , i dont do alot of upper body , mostly core and legs so should i buy a 65 flex or go with a TPS and get whip?

How tall are you? How much (if any) will you be cutting the stick down?

Im pretty sure that will be to whippy. Im smaller than you and I use a 85 and I think you will be fine with that. Remember 65 used to be a junior flex. I had a griplite 65 and I havent used that for years and Im 15 now.

Its all personal preference, what flex do you use now? do you like it?

I used to use an 85 last year i was 14 and now i use a 100-105 flex, its just how you like your sticks.

do you find it to be too whippy on snap shots and 1 timers?

i thin it would be too whippy....but 75 could be good for you....just try a z-bubble or something like this... but that your call

I'M 6'1 180 pound 15yr...have a good strengh...but i have difficulty with my slap shot...so i need more flex...85 feel good...the best would be 90 flex...i'm now with REG FLEX!

What are you using now? What is your problem with it's flex? Why are you looking to change?

well i used to have an 85 flex SL , but i only used it for a month before it broke so i really didnt break it in good , but on some of my wrist shots i could really feel a kick behind them , which is what im looking for now , but right now im using a 100 flex synergy , cut down an inch or so , so its really stiff and i just cant get a good wrist shot off.

plus i know this is way off topic but im thinking about an intermediate bauer vapor XXX, anybody have one , how is the flex , and is it better then the SL?

I don't take one-timers or slap shots 99.9% of the time. Maybe a one-timer snap or mid slap, but I steer clear of the full given er wind up. Not a fan of the whole take 10 years to get the shot off thing. Buut, on snaps it kicks and fires the puck. Right up until the last shot I took with my 1st SL, the puck flew off the blade.

I am 5'6, 130lbs and i use a 65 flex SL uncut but i found it too whippy at first but adjusted to the flex in about 7 ice times so if i were you I would give it a try.
