How do u no which lie u should have for a hockey stick?

Question

i need to no

Answer 1

LIE??

Answer 2

if u skate low then u want a low lie such as a 4 or a 5, if u skate more upright then u want a high lie such as a 6

Answer 3

*  The lie is the angle between the blade and the shaft

    * A lie number is printed on the front of the stick's shaft and ranges from 4 to 8

    * The higher the number, the narrower the angle between the blade and the shaft. The smaller the number, the wider the angle. For example, a lie 4 stick has a wide handle-to-blade angle, while a lie 8 has a smaller angle.

    * As a rule, lower lie angle sticks are used for players who skate low to the ice and carry the puck out in front of them

    * Lies 7 and 8 are for players who skate upright and carry the puck close to their skates

    * One way to determine if you have the proper lie is to examine your old stick

          o If the blade is worn on the toe, you should try a higher lie

          o If your stick is worn on the heel, you should try a lower lie

          o If the blade wears evenly, you are using the correct lie

Answer 4

hard to say cause it depends on the length of the stick and preference (tall guy with short stick or short guy with long stick), and the size of you, meaning if you tend to shoot close to your feet you will need a more upright lie and a lower/flatter lie if you shoot further from your feet.

ideally you should just go to a hockey shop and try some sticks and see which is best for you. and get fitted if you can.

it effects how close/far from your feet the blade/puck will have to be for stick to lay flat

so its hard to say unless you account for the other factors.

try one out, even if you are going to buy online find a hockey store and try them out.

to be honest my recommendation for anyone looking for a stick is try and get used/cheaper models and get a real feel for what you like and then shell out the bucks. you will be able to adjust to most sticks pretty easily if you have played and are around average size.

to fit yourself!:

with skates on! put the puck and stick where they would normally be. where your main shooting location is the blade should be relatively flat/even on the ground. if the heel or toe is sticking up then you need a higher or lower lie.
