From what I've seen most people want to use a higher flex regardless of their size.

There was an article/video that said something similar but I can't find it now. Basically most people overestimate their size/strength and equate lower flex with being weak and unmanly.

Edit: the raven site explains the same idea, there is a link earlier in this very thread. I read/saw something almost identical but it was about flex for adults. Basically if you are 180lbs and you cut the stick you end up with flex quite a bit lower than what you bought. Now you should have a stick at 90 but you bought at 100 and cut it so it is more like 115 that is made for a player who is 230lbs.
