No he uses a Nike Bauer Supreme One95 stick
In the 2010/11 season he recently started using the EASTON EQ50
Evgeni Malkin is one known player to use it.

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...
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.

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.

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
