A Guide to Height, Flex, and Kick Point
Generally between your chin and the tip of your nose when you are standing on your skates.
Shorter Sticks (Chin-height): Best for forwards—enhances puck handling, agility, and quick-release shots.
Longer Sticks (Nose-height): Best for defensemen—extends reach for poke checks and provides leverage for power shots.
Stick Height
Mechanics & Flex: Proper technique transforms your stick into a spring. Your ability to transfer energy—not just your weight—determines your ideal flex.
Advanced Players: Higher flex for maximum energy transfer.
Beginner – Intermediate: Lower to mid-range flex for easier loading.
Stick Flex
The area where the shaft bends most when loaded.
Low Kick Point: Near the blade for rapid-fire releases. Ideal for forwards needing quick, deceptive shots.
Mid Kick Point: Center-shaft flex for maximum energy loading. Ideal for defensemen and power forwards taking heavy, high-velocity shots.
