Model Flex Player Profile
Youth   Kids are growing up with composites in today's hockey market; it should start with the youth players
Junior   Generally for ages 8 -12 where the skills are in early development and softer flex will enhance puck velocity and increase release time
Intermediate   This flex is great for PeeWee and Bantam age players, that have smaller hands that cannot use a senior shaft dimension although require a longer blade to control the puck
Senior 77 Flex For the player seeking maximum energy loading; this is the softest flex available on the market in a senior dimension
Senior 87 Flex Probably the most popular flex rating, this is for the player seeking a quick-release whether it's a one-timer or streaking down the wing
Senior 102 Flex This is for the stronger player that has an arsenal of different shots in their game

When purchasing hockey equipment the most important aspect to consider is that the equipment is properly fitted. When equipment is not suitably fitted the player is exposed to injury.
