Previous Feedback
Comments: Comments:My son has used this stick now for three months and really likes the overall feel for a youth/junior stick. The shaft size(diameter)is the perfect size for and 8-10 year old and their size of hands. The shaft size is a little bigger than most youth size but smaller than most junior size sticks enabling him to really be able to handle(gripwise) the stick. Another benefit to this stick is the stick length and flex as the choices are two stick lengths in youth, junior and intermediate each as well as two flexes for each youth, junior and intermediate. My son is using the youth plus stick which is 45" and has a flex of 35. The options are great and really help without having to cut too much of the stick length. I will definitely purchase another of this stick for my son and would recommend to any of his teammates or players looking for a good quality youth/junior/intermediate stick.
