Stick Guide
Choosing the right stick is the first step to unlocking your game. At Epix Hockey, every detail is built to help players feel confident, fast, and in control. Here's how to pick the perfect setup.
Handedness
Handedness is where choosing a stick begins. At Epix, we design both left and right curves to match how players naturally control the puck.
Left-Handed Stick
Your left hand goes lower on the shaft. This is the most common setup for right-hand-dominant players because the dominant hand controls the top of the stick for finesse.
Right-Handed Stick
Your right hand goes lower on the shaft. Players who feel stronger stickhandling with their left hand on top often choose this side.
Flex
Flex is how much the stick bends during a shot. Epix builds flex profiles to match different shooting styles rather than just body weight.
Lower Flex
Quicker release and easier loading
Higher Flex
More stored power for heavy shooters
Curve
Your blade curve shapes the way you shoot and stickhandle. Epix patterns are designed for specific player identities:
Mid Curves
For all-around balance
Toe Curves
For aggressive puck handlers
Heel Curves
For players who rely on strong passing and long-range shots
Lie
Lie determines how the blade sits on the ice in your natural stance. An Epix lie keeps the full blade engaged for maximum control. Too low and the toe pops up. Too high and the heel lifts. The right lie keeps your blade flat when you're moving at game speed.
Length
Measured in skates, your stick should land near your chin.
Shorter Sticks
Tighter handling and quicker movements
Longer Sticks
More reach and added leverage on shots
Kick Point
Epix sticks come in shooting profiles built for your release:
LightSpeed Low
For quick-strike snipers
Neo-Mid Kick
For full-load power shooters
Synth Hybrid
For players who change gears depending on the play
Weight & Feel
The right stick should disappear in your hands. Epix focuses on balanced weight distribution so the stick feels light without sacrificing durability or shot stability.
