Junior Curve Guide

---|---|---|---|
P92 (mid-toe) | Open / Lie 6 | All-around, quick release | Easy lift; balanced for passes & snapshots |
P28 (toe) | Open / Lie 5 | Deception, pull-in shots | Loads at toe for fast, rising releases |
P88 (mid-heel) | Neutral / Lie 6 | Flat, accurate wristers | Closed face keeps shots flatter; strong control |
P90TM (mid-toe) | More open / Lie 6 | Toe-shooters, catch-and-release | Helps elevate in tight; stable one-timers |
Junior Flex & Length Guidance
Player Weight (lbs) | Recommended Flex | Uncut Length Guidance |
---|---|---|
55–80 | 30 Flex | Junior shaft ~50–53". Trim to mouth–chin on skates for control. |
70–95 | 40 Flex | ~52–54". Keep more length for leverage; cut for quicker release. |
90–115 | 50 Flex | ~52–54". Minimal cut preserves mid-kick load feel. |
Start near ~½ of body weight in flex (e.g., 100 lbs → ~50 flex). More power = higher flex; quicker release = lower flex.
Stick Length Guide (by Player Height)
Player Height | Suggested Length (on skates) | Notes |
---|---|---|
4'4" – 4'10" (132–147 cm) | ~50–53" to mouth/chin | Shorter favors puck control & quick release. |
4'10" – 5'2" (147–157 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. |
PROTO2 rewards stable length. If you cut a lot, expect a stiffer feel (consider dropping 1 flex).
P28 speeds up toe-side releases; P92 balances lift & control; P88 favors flat accuracy.
Optimized balance helps PROTO2 swing lighter — don’t drop too low in flex if you already load 50 easily.
