| Abstract | The purpose of the experiment was to find the best flex of a hockey stick for players of two masses. A player at 115 lbs. and 185 lbs. took 20 slap shots with 4 different flexed hockey sticks and the speed and accuracy were recorded. When the flex of the stick increased, the accuracy increased for both players, whereas the speed increased for the 185lb player, but decreased for the 115 lb. player. |
