"Hockey stick flex rating number represents the number of pounds of force it takes to bend the shaft 1 inch with top hand at the top of the stick and the bottom hand applying pressure to the middle of the shaft. A 85 flex shaft requires 85 lbs of force to flex 1” at the full length of the new ice hockey stick."
I'm not sure if this answers your question or not. Lower flex ratings are usually better for wrist shots and higher ones for slap shots (I think). |

| Weight doesn't really come into play I think. My brother had two of the same stick but at different flexes so. I've had sticks at different flexes as well. It's just a matter of preference really. |

| Well it depends. I couldn't really flex an 85 flex much and I'm 160 and I'm getting a 75 flex for xmas. Just take a few shots and if you don't like it you could probably get a new one somewhere |

| and also the rule of thumb for the average player is "half the body weight is the flex" but if you're stronger on your shots you can use stiffer flexes. But I think 65 would be fine. Anyways it's a free stick so it's not like you're wasting your money if you think it's too whippy |
