What's your height and weight, what position do you play? what types of shots do you prefer, or feel you are best at (wrist, slap)? Do you consider yourself to have good hands, or do you just dish off passes to the skilled players?

Well, I love 'traditional' sticks such as Sher-Wood. In particular, I use the Sherwood 9950 with a variation of the Coffey curve and people constantly say my wrist shot is deceptive beyond belief. I also have a slapshot that approaches 90 MPH on ice and similar in roller. The 9950 has a flex of around 110 so if you get a lot of raw strength behind the stick, it will go far.

If you're into the composite/graphite world, Easton always seems to be the ever-present stick manufacturer. But flex ratings will probably be a bit higher on those sticks.
