New to Hockey, need advice on whether I should buy another stick
I just started learning hockey and got a 77 flex P92 stick. I’m around 5’9–5’10 and 170 lbs. The stick was cut down about an inch so I’m assuming the flex is now somewhere in the low 80s.
I think it might be too stiff for me right now. I used to weight train but stopped recently, so I’m not insanely strong or anything. Most of my shots just stay flat on the ice, although every once in a while I get a really nice release. Overall though, I don’t feel like I’m loading the stick very well or getting much power.
There’s a 40% off deal at my local Play It Again Sports, so I was thinking about grabbing a second stick with a lower flex just to test while I’m learning proper shooting mechanics and how to actually load the stick.
Would something around 55–65 flex make more sense for where I’m at, or should I just keep learning on the current stick?
