Defenseman Stick Flex?

[r3cc0s]

imo... a whippier stick is also more forgiving... which in the real world makes a big difference

I can use a 102 stick being @ 6' 200 and can easily ripem in the pre-game skate, but an 85 that I can use for a quick release on the rush, or more importantly for quick releases from the point...

I'm not the type of d-man to throw the puck at the net, regardless of traffic... I will distribute it fast with one-time passes, if given the opportunity to rip it... a lesser flex stick will give m a bit more forgivness if I hit the puck with more of the toe part than my heel

if i can shoot 80 mph on a slapshot and from 65-70 mph on my wrist/snapshots consistently with a 85 flex stick, should i drop down to the 77 flex? i play wing/centre so i want to get my snap/wristers harder

That info doesn't help us, why should you drop down a flex bracket??? Did you measure your shot speeds with a lower flex???
