Stick flex trouble

[bmess6 2]

I cant seem to find the flex that is right for me. Im a very thin 5"10 so i dont want to go to a a shorter stick, but a 75 flex or 77 flex is not whippy enough for me. Any ideas?

Get like a 65 flex intermediate and just add a plug if needed.

Are the intermediate sticks too short for you? Technically you could get an intermediate stick that has a flex that is less than 75. If its too short you could have it extended which would lower the flex even more.

You could go on a strict strength building routine and try to work your way into one of those senior 75 flex sticks. Rippetoes Starting Strength is an amazing routine and would be great to build some mass and quickly add strength to your entire body. Just google the program, it's easy to follow.

Some senior members of this forum may have better ideas though but both of those solutions seem good to me.

graf makes a SR 65 flex

Warrior makes a 70 Int that would probably be a good length for you, I'm 5'8", and got a DT1LT 55 that was just above the bottom of my chin in sneakers(didn't have to cut), and the 70 was right next to it on the rack- it looked ~2-3" longer.

I use a fairly short stick though, as I feel it helps keep me down, with my hands in front of me.

I noticed that about the warrior sticks. Do they make anything with low kick point?

If you can find them on closeout anywhere, the TPS Response sticks "whip" flex played like a 70. They might have enough flex for you.
