Hi. I am a bantam hockey player and ive been wondering this for years. My answer came when i was practicing one day. i noticed that a flat stick might not give you any power not lift. the lift comes from the angle that occurs from the curve of the stick and the power comes from the flex and kick of that blade. more curve different kick point. and dont get confused because there are many kickpoints on the stick.
its easier to make a wrist shot and make a goal in top corner :D. also if it doesnt have alot of curve, it would be hard to get the puck to lift a lot. try it for yourself with a More curved stick and not so much curved one, theres a difference.
