Overview
The Sherwood Code Photon Pro Junior 30 Flex Hockey Stick is built for developing players looking for lightweight, responsive performance with the versatility of Sherwood’s CODE family. Featuring a junior-friendly 30 Flex, the Photon Pro is designed to help younger players properly load the shaft while developing their shooting, passing, puck-handling, and playmaking skills.
The softer 30 Flex makes the stick more manageable for junior players who may struggle to load a stiffer shaft. Whether they're working on snapshots, wrist shots, shooting in stride, receiving passes, or controlling the puck through traffic, the Code Photon Pro Junior 30 Flex provides an all-around performance platform designed to support continued skill development.
Key Features
Junior 30 Flex
The 30 Flex configuration provides a softer shaft for younger and lighter players who need a stick they can properly load during their shooting motion. Matching the player with an appropriate flex can help improve shooting mechanics and make it easier to take advantage of the stick's energy.
CODE Performance Platform
Built within Sherwood’s CODE family, the Photon Pro emphasizes versatile performance, making it a strong option for developing players who are learning to shoot effectively from different positions and situations.
Versatile Shooting Performance
The Photon Pro provides an all-around platform for developing snapshots, wrist shots, one-timers, and shots in stride, allowing young players to continue expanding their shooting arsenal.
Responsive Energy Transfer
A responsive shaft feel works together with the softer 30 Flex to help junior players effectively load the stick and transfer energy through their shooting motion.
Lightweight Performance
Performance-oriented construction helps keep the Photon Pro quick and manageable in younger players' hands, supporting faster movements while stickhandling, passing, receiving, and shooting.
Responsive Blade Feel
A responsive blade feel helps players maintain a confident connection with the puck during stickhandling and passing while supporting quick transitions from receiving the puck into a shot.
Balanced Construction
A balanced overall feel helps keep the stick controlled and responsive, an important characteristic for junior players developing quicker hands and more consistent puck control.
Fit & Feel
Easier-to-Load 30 Flex
The 30 Flex is an important part of this stick's junior performance. A properly matched flex makes it easier for younger players to bend the shaft during their shooting motion rather than fighting against a stick that's too stiff.
Lightweight & Responsive
The Code Photon Pro Junior is designed to remain manageable in younger players' hands, helping them move the stick efficiently during dekes, passes, puck protection, and shooting.
Built for Developing Players
The Junior 30 Flex configuration provides a more appropriate setup for developing players who aren't yet ready for the increased stiffness and dimensions associated with Intermediate or Senior sticks.
Versatile for Skill Development
Because the CODE platform emphasizes all-around performance, the Photon Pro is a strong option for players developing a complete offensive skill set involving shooting, passing, puck handling, and playmaking.

Just Hockey Pro Tip
For younger players, choosing the correct flex can have a major impact on shooting development. The 30 Flex Photon Pro is best suited to junior players who need a softer shaft they can properly bend and load through their shooting motion.
Avoid moving a player into a stiffer flex too early. If the stick is too stiff, it can become more difficult to develop proper shooting mechanics and take advantage of shaft loading. Pairing the right flex with the right stick length can help a young player get more out of their wrist shots, snapshots, passing, and puck handling.
