tuckerhockey13 3 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I don't know if this has been covered or if some one could point out if this has been covered/ asked but Iv been doing some thinking (and looking at new sticks to buy) and I was wondering if there was a Kick to Flex correlation that could be used when going from Mid Kick to Low Kick sticks. Example - Using a Mid Kick at 100 flex has same accuracy and puck speed as low kick at 85. Or reverse the flexes. Or am I just off my rocker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckpilot 312 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I don't know of any correlation from mid to low kick, but IMHO, a lot of how a stick feels depends on the individual and their style/mechanics. I had someone say that the Warrior Alpha QX felt stiff to them when compared to an Bauer 1X. This is directly opposite of my experience. I find all Warrior sticks a lot easier to flex. *shrug* The stiffness along a hockey stick shaft varies depending on kickpoint and brand design, so I'm not sure you can make a universal rule of thumb that would translate across all brands. Any way my 2 cents. Below is a link to a study on the flex profiles of a bunch of high end sticks, with graphs and stuff. It's an interesting read, and might help, visualize what's going on with the various stick shafts. http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/hockeyflexprofiles.php Now if you want to know the correlation on stick height, stick stiffness, and flex rating. That, I think I can help with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
