STICK GUIDE

Falk intermediate sticks are designed for players who are around 14 and 17 years old. Please note that the shaft on Falk's intermediate is shaped in the same way as on our senior sticks.

Falk senior sticks are designed to fit players aged 16-17 years and older.


Better ice hockey sticks in combination with a faster game have meant that slapshots have been reduced in the game of hockey. In the NHL, for example, slapshots have decreased by about 50% in the last 10 years. In today's hockey, it is important to be able to fire your shot quickly and you do that through wrist shots. Therefore, it is important to choose the right flex for your Falk stick. Below you can read more about the topic of choosing the right stick.

Flex is the number represents the number of pounds of force / pressure to bend the stick one inch. The lower the number, the easier the stick could bend. The higher the number the stiffer the stick.

Choosing flex is very personal and depends a lot on how you play. If you are a forward who wants to shoot quick wrist shots, you should preferably choose a slightly lower flex number. If you are a defender who prefers to shoot slap shots, it usually fits better with more flex numbers. Your weight and strength also affect. If you are a smaller player, you should probably have a lower flex number and if you are a heavier and stronger player, you should probably have a higher flex number.

Kick point is the place on the shaft where it bends.

Mid kick means the kick point is towards the middle of the shaft. A mid kick stick is the most common beyond NHL players.

Low kick means the kick point is towards the bottom of the shaft. The lower kick points give you better handling of the stick and quick release.
