Shaft diameter and flex

[javisst 0]

Does the flex of a stick determine the shaft's diameter at all? It seems to me that lower flexes have smaller shaft diameters.

Junior and intermediate sticks are smaller in diameter because people who use those flexes, tend to have smaller hands.

Right, but if you take the same model senior stick, one with a 75 flex and the other with a 100 flex, will the 75 have a smaller diameter?

ummm why would it be smaller?

No.

tps pro radius is the same as an intermediate shaft diameter? or is it larger than intermediate but smaller than normal sr diameter.

I believe it was/is larger than intermediate, but smaller than a normal senior but I have not seen one for a while.

I am having a little trouble understanding the question. By definitions, Diameter is the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle and connecting two points on the circumference. A hockey shaft is not round. Are we talking about the overall dimensions of the shaft or the wall thickness?

People mis-use terms all of the time, it would appear that he is talking about the overall shaft dimensions.

Draw a stick shaft going north to south. Then draw a circle imposed on the shaft. The diameter is the straight line passing through that drawn circle. Just because the shaft is not round doesn't mean you can't infer a circumference.
