Great Stick, but not for everyone.

Here is some context: My son is on the ice 3-6x a week and works in the garage 3x a week. He plays AAA 11u hockey, shoots right and favors backhand and snap shots (no clappers) and weighs 94 lbs (no gear), therefore, uses a 40 flex stick (1/2 your body weight is a typical rule of thumb on flex). This year he has used the Bauer Vapor Flylite P88 and CCM SuperTaks AS1 P29 and has prefered the CCM JetSpeed FT2 P29. The P29 is great for backhand shots and passes. We've noticed as he's become more capable of creating flex on his snap shot that the dual-kickpoint on the JetSpeed makes his shot harder (4-6mph faster on radar) and allows for a quicker release (unverified). He did break one of his JetSpeed sticks earlier in the season, but not after 5 months of heavy use. I'm not super concerned, but we'll see as he continues to use his current stick (2 months of current use). The main reason we have not liked the Vapor Flylite is the extra length on the stick (two plus inches). Cutting the stick would increase the flex making it stiffer and might be fine when he hits 100lbs. So without cutting the stick his shot is further out from his body and creating flex has been considerably more difficult (his height is in the 85%, so above average). Avoid this stick if you play house hockey. No need to spend the money. If your child is an outlier in height then you migh consider the Flylite or True sticks (both are considerably taller sticks). If your kid is enamored by the clapper the dual kickpoint might not do anything for you (or your child) and you might want a higher flex.
