As a Shooting & Scoring coach, part of my job is to help match a player's stick to their individual technique.
The pattern/curve, flex, height and “LIE” can determine how a player controls, passes and shoots the puck.
In my opinion the “LIE” (angle of the shaft VS the blade) is the most neglected feature. The “LIE” can have a direct effect on
a player’s puck control, flight path and spin of the puck. The tighter the spin, the faster the puck can travel through the air.
