Honestly, growing up I don't think I ever even looked at the flex of my sticks. I was never strong enough to get any whip out of a 70/80/90 stick. Wasn't until beer league as an adult that I was actually strong enough for the difference between an 80 flex and a 100 flex to matter, for example.
Pretty cool that they make 20/30/40 flex sticks for kids now; you definitely need to change your technique when you learn to utilize your stick flex and it will result in a harder shot, but as a div 5/6 level player it was never really that relevant to me.
