what flex should i get?

[wiseguy 0]

i'm 170 pounds, 5' 9, need your opinion whether to buy a 85 or 100 flex synergy. i have two different shafts one 85flex z bubble, which i find too flimsy, and a 100 flex grip lite which i find too stiff.

It's really personal preference, I'm 6'2 185 and I love my 80-85 flex sticks. My buddy is like your size and he can't use anything thats not 110 flex. So it all has to do with the person and how everything feels to them.

I'm about your size and I use 85, love it for snappers and I can rocket my slapper. Not flimsy for me at all, id go for the 85

i need it more for wrist and snapshots, not too concerned about slapshots

I'm tempted to say go with the 100 because a 100 in a OPS feels whippier than one on a shaft, especially the Grip Lite.

I use a 100 flex stick and I am about 5'9 145lbs and I usually use a wrist or a snap shot.

Basically, its personal preferance...this should sound like new news to you :lol: :P

I agree. My 100 flex ops was initially a lot flexier than a normal 100 shaft. It has gotten a lot whippier after a months use as well. However, it really is your call/feel.

If you rarely shoot slappers, go 85.

Well, easton makes a 95 cyclone, but that would be pretty close to a 100.

If you don't get a Synergy, get something like a Regular flex Rubber Pro-Radius. That might help.

get 100

ultra lite is a really stiff stick and ops feel a lot wipper than an average shaft because of it tapper

Inno 260 is between 85 and 100. And if you want to split hairs, try Bauer's 87 flex.

I agree with the 85.

Leverage is more of a factor than weight, because a short stocky guy is going to bend it differently than a taller think guy, I guess it does depend on the individual.
