Height: 5'8

Weight: 195

Length: Between upper lip and nose on skates

Flex: 105 to 110

Age: 24

Position: Right Wing

Primary Sticks: One95 and Synergy ST

I put a lot of weight into my shots, even my wristers. Any flex under 100 and my shots lag or I lose accuracy.

Bumping this because this was pretty interesting.

I dumped all these responses into Excel, and here's what I came up with:

Average Height: 5' 10.8"

Average Weight: 186.78 lbs

Average Flex: 86.44

Average Weight to Flex Ratio: 2.18 lbs to flex (or flex equals 2.18 times body weight)

Average Height to Flex Ratio: 0.83 inches to flex (or height divided by 0.83 equals flex)

Of course when I sorted from smallest to largest, the average flex slowly climbed from 65 to 86.

Finally, I made up an "adjusted flex" which assumed a 5'11 player would use a 60" stick then adjusted 3% up or down in flex for each inch of stick length, and the average was still 86.47. So in other words, players tended to use what would be the equivalent of an 85 flex stick depending on how much they had to cut the stick down or add in length.

With the original 86 responses, added the next 45, and of course, statistics are fun:

New avg height: 5' 10.8" (no change)

New avg weight: 186.24 lbs (half pound lighter)

New avg flex: 87.81 (increased by 1.5)

Not much of a change, all considered.

As for the average height comment, the average US male height is 5' 9.5", but I used the average response which was 5' 10.8". It makes sense we (or specifically you guys :D) are taller than average because you're athletes.
