Just Hockey Pro Tip
The 40 Flex Photon Halo+ is a great progression option for a junior player who is beginning to find a 30 Flex too easy to load. Moving to a stiffer flex can provide additional resistance for stronger shooting mechanics, but only when the player can still properly flex the shaft.
Avoid moving to a 40 Flex simply because a player is getting older. Stick length, body weight, strength, and shooting technique should all factor into the decision. The right flex should allow the player to confidently load the stick while maintaining good mechanics on wrist shots, snapshots, and shots in stride.
