[QUOTE]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.[QUOTE]

Well I used slapshot as an example. But really, any shot I take with a stick under 100 flex doesn't work. No matter what I'm attempting, the stick noodles up and takes away all the power before the puck releases.

Where as a nice stiff stick just powers the puck at the net, I guess because I'm making the power come from my arms instead making the stick do the work? I'm not sure, I guess everyone's different.
