35RoloSmith41 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I got to hold Mike Smiths stick and the thing felt like a 70flex player stick. It was like rubber which clearly helps play the puck. no site seems to advertise stick flex though for goalies unless I’m missing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) This is a beef for me as well. I've never been able to find anything other than anecdotal stories that Smith, Jarry and a couple of other guys have sticks that are noticeably whippy when compared to a stock or even a more typical pro return twig. I'd love to be able to custom order something that's got even more give than my EF4 sticks. ' Edit: It's not the shops/sites, it's the manufacturers. They don't seem to want to open the can of worms that offering goalie sticks to the masses in multiple flexes, so we're stuck with a "one size fits a couple" approach.

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I know Bauer 23 and 24 paddles are 67 flex. 25s are 87, 26 is 95 I would assume the other companies somewhat concur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey34 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Can confirm my 24 is also a 67. I would think like ccm, true, and warrior would be a 65, 85, and 95 going off how all the companies do the player sticks since Bauer the only one that ends there flex in 7 while every one else does 5.

We're all freaking out about paddle size inconsistency already "WHY ISN'T A BAUER 67 FLEX THE SAME AS A WARRIOR 67 FLEX" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think not but 23 inches is apparently not 23 inches in every companies’ factory I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
