There are five specifications of a hockey stick to consider when choosing the best hockey stick for you: flex, length, kick point, curve face and curve position.
Here's an explanation of each one, how they affect your game and what you should consider when choosing between all the options.
Affects shot power and release; lower flex offers quick release and responsiveness, while higher flex provides more stability and power for long shots. Read more about stick flex here.
Longer sticks increase reach and leverage but reduce maneuverability; shorter sticks enhance control and puck handling in tight spaces. Read more about stick length here.
Low kickpoints enable quick shot release; high kickpoints maximize power for slap shots and long-range shots.
Toe curves aid in quick-release shots and dangles; heel curves add stability and power, while mid curves provide versatility.
Open faces lift pucks easily for high shots; closed faces improve accuracy and control for passes and low shots.
