NHL'ers flexes

[#28tz 0]

Just wondering what flexes do most nhl players use on their sticks?

[Eazy_b97 1]

I see mostly "Stiff" or 110's around the league, but the average size is alot bigger than most people.

There are a lot of 95 flexes out there as well.

It's really sad that a lot of kids use stiff sticks even though the NHLer's dont, when you take into account their weight/strength. 100 flex for a 200 pound pro is like a whip or intermediate flex for some of the players on my team, yet they wonder why they don't have good shots. I never go higher than 85, I'd use 70ish flexes, but almost no one except inno and TPS make them in SR.

Well sorry, from what i see on this board.and ebay...i find it very hard to found lower than 95 flex in pro stock... so i didn't know they were a lot more player using lower than 100 flex

As for Hull...yea he use 75-80.. but that 1 player on 700 lol... and i can't see how a PRO PLAYER can use 65 flex!!! that way too low...

Ever think the reason there are so many more stiff stick available is because the players aren't using those flexes?

Not if SRI's estimates are at all close... 3% of around 630 players ... you do the math. Listings of pro-stocks on Ebay and posts on MSH are not representative.

guys like samsonov use whip flex also. can't think of anyone else right now but there's more.

Brad Richards did use 75 flex si-cores,because a guy on my team last year got one from him.

The ones I know for sure are:

Avery = LA

Marshall = NJ

McDonald = ANA (used INNO 180 flex shafts back in the day)

Sim = PHI

Blake Sloan (no longer in NHL)

I cannot confirm Matt Cooke in VAN.

When I used to work with Whitney and Sillinger, they were all over the map between 70 and 95, especially Whitney.

I'm sure if I really wanted to go back through my files, I could list most of them.

Funny, i won a rbk 6k from sloan on ebay 2 weeks ago...but his stick was REG Flex, and i would say it was stiffer than my 100 flex stealth!

I thought this guys was in AHL...

Anyways... for which compagny were you rep?

Sorry Chadd. my opinions was...

If at 6'1 180 pound...(not near from pro and training each days) i can use 85, and 75 (whip tps) seem too much for me... i can't see a lot of guys using 85 flex...

I know some do...because my whip flex xn10 is a pro stock but still...there is very a few...

[mack 44]

Okay, so we're to take your guess over SRI's factual proof? RIGHT-O.

[thejackal 46]
