Parent's Guide: The "Do-It-All" Stick
If you aren't sure what kind of player your child is yet (sniper vs. playmaker), a Mid Kick stick is the safest bet.
1. Versatility
A Mid Kick stick (like the Bauer Nexus) flexes in the middle. This makes it great for everything:
Passing: It feels stable when catching hard passes.
Shooting: It provides good power for slapshots but is still quick enough for wrist shots.
2. Who is it for?
Defensemen: Great for kids who play the point and need to get the puck to the net through traffic.
Stronger Players: If your child is bigger for their age, they can bend a Mid Kick stick effectively to generate serious power.
3. Choosing the Flex
Stick to the "Half Body Weight" rule. A Mid Kick stick can feel slightly stiffer than a Low Kick stick, so don't go too high on the flex.
- Youth (20-30 Flex): For players under 60 lbs.
- Junior (40-50 Flex): For players 60-100 lbs.
