5minutesforfighting 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 I'm a taller guy, 6'6", and when I buy sticks, I need to make them significantly longer. This results in the flex getting weaker.Does anyone know where I can special order longer sticks, that'll hold their flex?I usually use around a 100 flex, but when I make it longer it usually feels like 85 or 90.

hockeytim18 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Look around for pro-stock sticks. I was at a LHS today and they had some pro-stocks that were fairly longer than the regular sticks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve123 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Why not just get a 110 flex and put a longer butt end in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Because that's great if you want a ~100 flex stick but extensions suck and I'd rather have more shaft than plug to hold onto.Shafts: Pro stock ULs if you can find them. They're the easiest shaft to find in a 120 flex and that's why my Grip Lites are like children to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booyaagrandma 4 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 I'll second what Mack said .A friend of mine picked up a Patrick Marleau pro stock grip lite shaft a few years ago that was quite a bit longer than a normal grip lite ( and stiffer too ) .I seem to remember he got it from Eastwest hockey in northern California ( if memory serves ? ) Maybe you could give them a shout to see what they have ?

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 This is why being a beginner was so hard. I'd love to just get a wood stick or two, but the damned things come too short, and shafts are damned expensive unless you get a used or junk one.I resorted to buying a pair of 52" shafts, getting the tallest blades and sticking 4" in the top. I have a cut SL with 7" of wood on the end, and a TPS OPS with 2". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another thing, get a stiffer flex, like a 110, and use the extension. Should be around 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
