We build hockey sticks for growing body sizes and weights, regular sticks are way too stiff for younger players, negatively impacting skill development. Optimal flex means more power and accurate shots.
Our sticks make it easier for young players to shoot properly and get more power. Even more important, they contribute to better techniques and habits from their very first hockey stick.
Raven was started because of a simple question: why aren’t there hockey sticks with appropriate flex for our own kids? That’s why we began creating sticks for young players.
Every shot, hockey players load power into the stick and that provides the kick to launch their shot. The hockey stick requires just the right amount of flex for the best kick.
If a hockey stick is too stiff, a young player won’t be strong enough to get any kick from their stick. This means they’ll resort to flipping the puck and this contributes to poor shooting habits.
When young players use sticks with appropriate flex, they’ll learn how to properly transfer power through the stick. It starts by getting a stick with the right amount of flex for their size and weight.
FLEX SHOULD MATCH BODY SIZE
The relationship is simple: most hockey players should be using a stick with a flex rating that equals less than 50% of their body weight.Most Pros weigh around 200 lbs and use sticks that are around 80 to 100 flex.
BUILT TO FIT
Young players weigh between 40 and 100 lbs and the average stick is 50 flex. And when a few inches are chopped off the top, the stick becomes more like 80 flex—the same as many professional hockey players!
