Place your hockey stick upright against a wall with the back of the shaft flat against the surface.
At CHS, stick height is measured from the floor to the very top of the shaft to give you the true overall stick height.
Please note that some brands only measure shaft length or measure to the heel of the blade, which can create misleading size comparisons between brands.
The right stick height can improve:
As a general guideline, while standing without skates, the top of your stick should sit between your chin and nose.
Another common method:
Ultimately, stick height comes down to personal preference and playing style.
Senior Hockey Sticks
92mm shaft circumference
Approx. 3.6″
Intermediate Hockey Sticks
92mm shaft circumference
Approx. 3.6″
Junior Hockey Sticks
88mm shaft circumference
Approx. 3.46″
Junior blades are slightly smaller than senior blades and may vary depending on curve pattern.
Stick flex determines how much your stick bends and loads energy during shooting.
Cutting your stick changes the flex.
As a general rule, flex increases by approximately 5 points for every inch cut from the top of the shaft.
Example: An 85 flex stick cut down by 1 inch will feel closer to a 90 flex.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flex profiles.
Many players use sticks that are too stiff for their shooting style. Dropping flex can often improve shot release, puck feel, and overall performance.
Sometimes a small flex adjustment can completely change how a stick feels on the ice.
Kick point determines where your stick flexes and loads energy during your shot. Different kick points change the feel, release speed, and shooting style of your stick.
CHS offers four different kick point options: Low Kick, Hybrid Kick, Mid Kick, and High Kick.
Designed for quick-release shooters.
Low Kick loads energy lower in the shaft, helping players release snapshots and wrist shots faster with less effort.
Best For
Quick-release shooters
Offensive forwards
Snap shots
Fast puck movement
Close-range scoring
The best balance between quick release and shot power.
Hybrid Kick combines elements of both low and mid kick profiles, giving players versatility across different shooting styles.
Best For
All-around players
Mixed shooting styles
Wrist shots and slap shots
Players looking for versatility
Built for powerful, controlled shooting.
Mid Kick loads energy higher through the middle of the shaft, creating stronger energy transfer for heavier shots.
Best For
Powerful shooters
Slap shots
One-timers
Players who lean into their shots
Maximum power and stiffness.
High Kick places the flex point higher in the shaft, ideal for players who prefer a stiffer feel and big wind-up shots.
Best For
Strong players
Heavy slap shots
Traditional shooting feel
Maximum shot power
There’s no single “best” kick point — it comes down to personal preference, shooting mechanics, and playing style.
Today’s game has increasingly shifted toward lower kick and hybrid kick sticks due to their quicker release and easier shot loading, especially among offensive players.
However, many players still prefer the added stability and power of mid or high kick setups depending on their role and shot style.
Stick lie affects how your blade sits on the ice during skating, shooting, passing, and puck handling.
The correct lie helps keep the full bottom of your blade in contact with the ice, improving puck control, comfort, and overall feel.
Typically preferred by players who:
Lie 5 tends to feel more natural for players with a deeper skating posture.
Typically preferred by players who:
Lie 6 often provides a more upright feel and quicker blade positioning.
If the toe of your blade lifts off the ice, your lie may be too low.
This usually happens when:
The full bottom of the blade sits evenly on the ice.
This gives you:
If the heel of your blade lifts off the ice, your lie may be too high.
This usually happens when:
Each curve pattern is designed with a specific lie profile.
Because of this, not all curves are available in multiple lie options.
Please consult the CHS Curve Guide for detailed lie information on each pattern.
Carbon fiber plays a major role in the overall feel, balance, durability, and performance of your hockey stick.
Different carbon fiber grades affect: weight, responsiveness, durability, and overall stick feel
At CHS, we offer multiple carbon fiber options to match different player preferences and performance needs.
The checkered pattern comes from woven carbon fiber strands layered together during production.
The “K” refers to the number of carbon fiber filaments woven together. For example:
Generally speaking, higher filament counts increase durability and structural strength.
The lighter the hockey stick, the more important carbon fiber quality becomes in maintaining durability and performance.
General Recommendations:
At the end of the day, the best option depends on your playing style, preferred stick weight, and personal feel.
Unidirectional carbon fibers run in a single direction rather than a woven pattern, creating a clean all-black finish.

Traditional feel
Solid durability
Clean cosmetic finish

The best way to determine your player side is simple:
Your natural shooting side should feel instinctive and controlled.
Stick weight affects how your stick feels during shooting, puck handling, passing, and overall play.
Lighter sticks can improve release speed and handling, while slightly heavier constructions may provide added durability and stability.
At CHS, we offer multiple weight options so players can choose the balance of performance, feel, and durability that fits their game.

Lighter sticks improve handling and release speed, but may sacrifice some durability compared to heavier constructions.
The best weight ultimately comes down to your playing level, preferences, and how you want the stick to feel on the ice.
Choosing the correct player side comes down to what feels most natural for your puck control, shooting, and overall comfort on the ice.
For most players, the top hand controls the stick, while the lower hand provides power and support.
If your right hand sits at the top of the stick and your left hand is lower on the shaft, you are a left-handed shooter.
Common Feel
If your left hand sits at the top of the stick and your right hand is lower on the shaft, you are a right-handed shooter.
Common Feel
If you hold the stick with your right-hand blocker and catch with your left glove hand, you are a left-catching goalie.
This is the most common goalie setup.
If you hold the stick with your left-hand blocker and catch with your right glove hand, you are a right-catching goalie.
This setup is sometimes referred to as “full right.”
The best way to determine your player side is simple:
Your natural shooting side should feel instinctive and controlled.
