Hockey Stick Flex

[heja]

which one would people say is better flex out of 100 or 85 flex???

i guess the 85 is more flexable?

Ive got 85 and 100 flex sticks, and i prefer the 100 flex one. The 85 flex is more flexy, and you will get a better shot off with it, but its what you feel more comfortable with. I feel more comfortable with the 100 flex.

There is no "better".

A higher number indicates a stiffer stick, a lower number means a flexier stick. And generally, as a rule of thumb, bigger and stronger guys use stiffer sticks, as they can flex them more.

Think of it this way. You should use a stick that you can get a decent "bend" out of when shooting. Not too much, or it'll probably break, and not too little, or your shot won't have much power. Generally, if you're stronger, you'll be able to bend a stiffer stick as much as a smaller guy will be able to bend a flexier stick.

That said, it's all down to personal preference - the above is just a rule of thumb.
