It's all about technique. I use a 75 flex stick because I like to let the stick do the work. The lower flex is better for snap and wrist shots as I can load the stick with minimal effort.
For all those people who blame the blade pattern for the puck being shot high I suggest you examine your technique. If your shot is going higher than you want try rolling your wrists over in your follow through. This closes the blade more and helps keep the puck lower.
