Just Hockey Pro Tip
The Sherwood Code Photon Pro Junior 50 Flex is a great option for a stronger junior player who is beginning to overpower a 40 Flex and wants additional shaft resistance.
Don't move to 50 Flex simply because it's the next flex up. The player should still be able to noticeably load the shaft with proper technique. Stick length, player weight, strength, and shooting mechanics should all be considered when selecting flex. The correct setup can help players get more effective performance from their wrist shots, snapshots, one-timers, and shots in stride.
