Hockey Stick Height
How to measure stick height
Place a hockey stick with the spine of the shaft flush against a wall. Custom Hockey Sticks take the measurement from the floor to the top of the shaft. This will give you your exact height.
Please note that some other brands measure only the length of the shaft, or to the heel of the blade, which will result in a shorter measurement, for example, 60"-63".
What height is best for me?
Too long or too short? You will lose speed, balance, and accuracy. The right hockey stick height gives you better control, sharper passes, and more powerful shots.
Stand up straight with your stick in front of you. Without your skates on, the stick should reach between your chin and your nose.
Another way of measuring is the final height should be approximately your total body height minus 6-8 inches. For deck or street hockey use your total body height minus 9-11 inches.
Circumference for each player type
Circumference of shaft: 92mm = 3.6".
Circumference of shaft: 92mm = 3.6".
Circumference of shaft: 88mm = 3.46". Junior blade is slightly smaller than senior and varies depending on curve.
Hockey Stick Flex
The flex indicates how easily the stick bends when you shoot. If you are not sure what flex to choose, start with approximately half your weight in pounds. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, try a 100 flex. If you like your stick a little more stiff, go up in flex. If you like it softer, go down.
Please note: If you cut your hockey stick, the flex number will increase by approximately 5 per inch you cut off. For example, if you purchase a hockey stick with an 85 flex and cut 1 inch off the top, your new flex will be approximately 90.
Bonus tip: Experiment with a different flex
Grab a 75 flex and an 85 flex and see what feels right. With a stiffer stick you might be muscling your shots and passes too much. A lower flex like 75 gives you more whip, while the higher flex stays stiffer.
Hockey Stick Kick Point
CHS offers three different kick points, which is ultimately where the stick will flex when shooting: Low Kick, Mid Kick, and High Kick.
Low Kick
If you like having a quicker release of the puck for wrist or snap shots, you will want to go with a low kick. This is the preferred option for forwards.
Hybrid Kick
Hybrid is the perfect balance between low and mid kick points, allowing for quick releases and powerful shots.
Mid Kick
If you want a well rounded stick that is ideal for slap shots, wrist shots, and snap shots, choose Mid Kick.
High Kick
High Kick brings the kick point high up in the shaft, which is great for players who like big wind-ups and strong slap shots.
Hockey Stick Lie Chart
Proper stick lie means that your blade will lie flat on the ice as you skate and stick handle the puck.
Please note that each curve has its own specific lie. We cannot offer different lies for all curves. Please consult the curve chart for more details.
Lie 5 - Low skaters or long sticks
For players who like having a longer stick height and/or skate closer to the ice with the stick more out in front of them.
Lie 6 - Upright skaters or short sticks
For players who like having a shorter stick height and/or skate more upright with the stick closer to their body.
Hockey Stick Carbon Fiber Grades
What is the square pattern on my stick?
The checkered pattern comes from carbon fiber filaments woven together, almost like rope gets braided. The "K" stands for thousand, for example, 18K = 18,000 filaments.
The more filaments, the tougher your stick is.
What is the best carbon fiber for my hockey stick?
The lighter your stick, the more important the carbon fiber becomes in determining its strength. For standard-weight sticks, UD or 12K carbon fiber will suffice. For lightweight sticks, we recommend 18K or 24K.
UD - Black
Unidirectional carbon fibers run in one direction, similar to the grain of wood, and make our sticks completely black.
12K
There are 12,000 carbon fiber filaments woven, which give the hockey stick the small checkered pattern.
18K
There are 18,000 carbon fiber filaments woven, creating the larger checkered pattern.
24K
There are 24,000 carbon fiber filaments woven together, creating the largest checkered pattern. This is our strongest carbon fiber hockey stick.
24K Sapphire
Exclusive for the Hyperion, the 24K carbon fiber has been coated with a blue sapphire shield, making it more resistant to wear and tear.
