How can you harden a hockey stick?
to make a stick stiffer you could cut the stick down as much as needed or you can move up in flex... just remember that you don't need to have the stiffest stick on the team. Most NHL player uses an 85 flex and usually cut the stick to make it a 90 95 flex stick. Also you can a wood knob at the end. I use an 85 flex and cut the stick about 2 1/2 inches to make it about a 95 flex...
Do wooden extensions kill your sticks flex?
No they dont. Infact they add more flex. When you cut your stick down it changes the kickpoint and makes the stick stiffer. (thats what she said) Anyways take a look at the stick where you cut it down and it will show the flex you gain keeping it long or the flex you use cutting it down. so adding a wood extention does not kill your flex but maybe throw the balance of the stick off.

What stick flex do the pros use?
This is like asking what size skates do the pro's use. The answer is it varies. Flex is a personal preference. Some players, Like Chara, use sticks with flexes of around 130, some players use flexes as low as 80. It all comes down to your physical size and preference. but here's some general rules: A small built player or younger players often use a lower flex stick. Taller and/or physically stronger players often use a higher flex. Try a few different flexes out, see which suits you. The worst thing you can do is pick a flex purely because a favorite player uses it. This will not help your game at ALL, It'll more likely have a negative effect. Hope that helps
12 years old weigh about 120 pounds 5 feet 3 inches should use a junior or intermediate hockey stick?
You should most likely use an intermediate stick. Check the height with skates on (most people like the length of their stick between the height of ther nose and chin) and the flex. If the junior is either too short or contains too much flex for your preference then use an intermediate and vise versa with the opposite with the intermediate.
