Easton Stealth RS
Eston Stealth RS, but he used to use the S19
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...
Alexander Ovechkin typically uses a stick with a flex rating of around 85. This flex offers a balance of power and control, allowing him to take powerful shots while maintaining accuracy. His choice of stick flex contributes to his well-known shooting ability and overall performance on the ice.
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.

senior stick has a stiffer flex. senior flex is 75 - 115+. intermediate flex i think is like 77 down to 55. if your like 150+ and is like 5'5+ use a senior.
Eston Stealth RS, but he used to use the S19
its allows your stick to bend more when taking a slapshot thus creating a stronger spring motion which shoots it faster then a higher flex stick. better for defensmen is lower flex(not to low or you will brake it.
