Everything from your blade curve to your grip can directly impact your comfort on the ice, and in turn, your ability to elevate your game!
STICK LENGTH
GUIDE TO DETERMINING STICK LENGTH
You won’t be playing your best if you don’t have the right stick length. While it may depend somewhat on the position you play, determining how long your stick should be is very easy.
The typical standard is that your stick should be 1 to 2 inches below or above your chin. Remember that shorter sticks may be great for puck handling but might not have a powerful shot.
Long sticks give you reach and could even help you develop a commanding slapshot with minimal effort.
We offer customized stick lengths to match the athlete so that cutting the stick is not required as this has an adverse effect on the flex of the stick.
Senior
65” – 71”
Intermediate
57” – 64”
Junior
57” – 60”
Youth
47” – 56”
FLEX
Stick flex measures how flexible or stiff a stick is when force is applied. Since the flex rating indicates how many pounds of force it takes to flex the stick one inch, you should know that some sticks are significantly easier to bend than others.
Proper stick flex can increase overall shot velocity since flex has what you can think of as a slingshot effect. There is no “right or wrong” flex – it varies among players. So, you’ll want to try out different options. The higher the flex number, the stiffer, or less bend a stick will have. Conversely, the smaller the flex number, the more bend and softer a stick will be. If you’re unsure where to start consult one of our experts or contact us here.
Here is the range of Flex we offer by player level:
Senior
Flex Options
60, 65, 70, 77, 87, 95, 102, 112
Intermediate
Flex Options
45, 50, 55, 60, 65
Junior
Flex Options
40, 45, 50
Youth
Flex Options
10, 20, 30, 40
GRIPS
Most sticks come with two different finishes to the shaft, either grip or clear (non-grip). The purpose of adding a grip coating to the shaft is to optimize the amount of control a player has over the stick with their bottom hand.
You’ve probably noticed that at some point, your bottom hand might shift up and down the stick while you’re stick handling. With a non-grip finish, sliding your hands over the shaft is effortless. But the downside to not having a grip is if you don’t have a tight enough handle on the stick while shooting, your hand can slip and reduce the amount of power generated from your shot.
The opposite is true for a stick with grip – the grip coating may be too tacky, ultimately inhibiting your ability to slide your hands up and down the shaft. The benefit, however, is the extra grip you get when you go to shoot, which essentially locks your bottom hand in place and efficiently generates full power on your shots.
At Flarrow Hockey, we offer 5 Grip options:
Tactile, Candy Cane, Ribbed, Spiral, or No Grip
KICK POINT
The kick point of a hockey stick is a huge selling point for composite sticks. Kick point is most associated with flex and the style of play you want to bring to the ice. The kick point of a stick can be defined as the area where the stick will flex the most. There are three types of kick points, and each caters to a different type of player. The different kick points are low-kick, mid-kick, and high-kick. * Youth and Junior sticks offer Mid or Low kick points only.
LOW KICK
A low-kick is made for the player who relishes a lightning-quick release. Mainly for quick wrist shots and snap shots, this kick compresses and loads in the tapered area of the stick. It’s meant to get the puck to the net as fast as possible, usually when you’re within a close vicinity.
MID KICK
Mid-kick points are made for the power player, the type of shooter who loves to unleash hard slap shots and fully-loaded wrist shots. This type of kick compresses and bends mostly in the middle of the shaft. It offers full-powered shots for players shooting from greater lengths.
HIGH KICK
A high-kick point is the last type. Not all brands offer this kickpoint. A high kickpoint is engineered to flex wherever you place your bottom hand. High kick point sticks are great for optimizing a full-loading stick and unleashing powerful shots from any location of the rink.
LIE
The proper stick “lie” ensures that your blade maintains a flat position on the ice as you skate and handle the puck.
It’s important to note that each curve corresponds to a specific lie. Unfortunately, we cannot provide different lies for all curves. Please refer to the curve chart below for more detailed information.
Lie 5 is ideal for low skaters or those using longer sticks. This lie is suitable for players who prefer an extended stick height and skate with the stick positioned more in front of them.
On the other hand, Lie 6 is designed for upright skaters or those using shorter sticks. This lie caters to players who prefer a shorter stick height and skate more upright with the stick positioned closer to their body.

What is Carbon Fiber and what are the differences in weaves?
There are several options when it comes to the weave of carbon fibre and these are the most popular ones commonly used with hockey sticks,
The “K” refers to the number of individual carbon filaments (or tows) bundled together in a single strand. The higher the count of carbon fiber provides greater the strength and stiffness or responsiveness.
24K tow (or yarn) is composed of 24,000 individual carbon filaments, which boast the highest ultimate tensile strength in the industry.
18K: There are 18,000 carbon fiber filaments that are woven together making it even stronger than 12K and is also what creates the larger checkered pattern on the hockey stick.
UD: Unidirectional carbon fiber fabric is a type of carbon reinforcement that is non-woven and features all fibers running in a single, parallel direction.
What height of stick should I use?
At Flarrow Hockey we offer a complete custom experience, and we order your stick length to meet your personal preference. The typical standard is that your stick, when on skates, should be between your nose and your chin. Shorter sticks offer better in close puck handling and longer sticks tend to have a more powerful shot. The best way to determine this is to take your current stick and stand it on the tip of the blade at a 90-degree angle upright and measure from the floor to the top of the stick in inches and order that as your custom stick length. This eliminates the need for cutting sticks and adversely affecting the flex of your stick. See our Stick guide for height.
