Junior Flex & Length Guidance
| Player Weight (lbs) | Recommended Flex | Uncut Length Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 70–95 | 40 Flex (this model) | Junior shaft ~52–54". Trim to mouth–chin on skates for control. |
| 55–80 | 30 Flex (other models) | Consider 30 if not fully loading 40 yet. |
| 90–115 | 50 Flex (other models) | If over-loading 40, consider stepping up. |
Quick Rule of Thumb
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 80–90 lbs → ~40–45 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 80–90 lbs → ~40–45 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Cutting a stick increases effective flex (≈ +3–5 per inch cut). Exact change varies by model.
Stick Length Guide (by Player Height)
| Player Height | Suggested Length (on skates) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4'6" – 5'0" (137–152 cm) | ~51–53" to mouth/chin | Shorter favors puck control & quick release. |
| 5'0" – 5'2" (152–157 cm) | ~52–54" to chin | Balanced for handling and shooting. |
| 5'2"+ (157+ cm) | ~54"+ or consider Intermediate | Use an end plug if you prefer junior flex with extra reach. |
Measure with skates on. Target between mouth and chin for most players; adjust for playstyle.
