What is the biggest flex a hockey stick can have?
about a 40 flex is maximum for a junior stick ---------------------------------------- The biggest flex a hockey stick can have, and I'm assuming you mean the largest number, is a 115 to 120 (depending on the manufacturer). A 120 flex is fairly difficult to find and most are only available in Europe. For the most part, the highest flex available in the USA is a 110. In case there was any question, the higher the number in the flex rating, the stiffer the stick. Here is a listing of average flex ratings for each size stick: Youth - 35 to 40 flex Junior - 50 flex Intermediate - 60 to 70 flex Senior - 75 to 110

12 years old weigh about 120 pounds 5 feet 3 inches should use a junior or intermediate hockey stick?
You should most likely use an intermediate stick. Check the height with skates on (most people like the length of their stick between the height of ther nose and chin) and the flex. If the junior is either too short or contains too much flex for your preference then use an intermediate and vise versa with the opposite with the intermediate.

Flex is a measure of how bendable the stick is, the flex has nothing to do with left of right handedness.

How can you harden a hockey stick?
to make a stick stiffer you could cut the stick down as much as needed or you can move up in flex... just remember that you don't need to have the stiffest stick on the team. Most NHL player uses an 85 flex and usually cut the stick to make it a 90 95 flex stick. Also you can a wood knob at the end. I use an 85 flex and cut the stick about 2 1/2 inches to make it about a 95 flex...
How would you classify a composite hockey stick from a wood hockey stick?
A composite hockey stick is made from a synthetic material such as carbon fiber and is seen as lighter and to have more flex than a wood hockey stick. The flex of the stick is often rated on the stick and the amount of flex is a preference of the player. Flex can be seen as important because it causes a snapping of the stick during a snap or slap shot which causes the puck to release at a higher velocity. however often the more flex a stick may have the easier it may break.
