I found that at the younger ages it was much more important to determine curve and lie before flex and mostly because those 2 will have immediate effects. My son would sometimes complain that his stick was too stiff to take a pass; it was more likely that the lie did not promote the reception because of how he skated. The same can be said of his shot. Once he figured those out it all started to come together plus the fact that he had the size and stength to utilize the flex in a senior stick.
