Extensions on Low Kick vs Mid kick sticks.

[60PlusWinger 82]

So after using my Nexus 1000 102 flex with an added 1 inch wood extension I got my two 1X 102 flex sticks and right away I added them. I noticed I didn't have the same power on my shots or even consistency with the 1X and then a friend mentioned that it might be the kick point. He said Mid kick sticks being extended is no big deal because the stiffness is still in the center while a super low kick stick like a 1X you're only moving farther away from it. I noticed snap shots were decent but if I really choked up on the stick and leaned into it I got a heck of a shot. This makes sense in theory but what do you guys think?

I'd say it's less the extension and more the performance difference between the two models.

Granted I've used the Nexus quite a bit so maybe I'm more used to it but it does seem to make sense in regard to stick loading. Moving yourself farther away from the kick point.

I agree completely. I'm fine shooting with a Supreme or Nexus, not so much with a Vapor.

I have always dropped flex in vapor line vs almost every other line of sticks. I always feel that line plays much stiffer to me. not a bad thing, but a very expensive lesson on my end. ( I have heard the same about the warrior QRT as well ) but have never tried one.

I went up in flex from the APX2 that I had because at retail length it felt like I was melting through the shots. Im hoping that at retail length the poppyness of the 1X blade, low kick will all work together even though I might not be bowing the stick like a whippy mid kick
