Stick Lie

[bluekariya98]

Hi i have a Sheer-Wood T50 Stastny Curve 90 Flex and a 6.0 lie and i have more wear on the heel so should i get a lie 5 or a lie 7?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@bluekariya98 You would want to go down in lie to the 5.

[bluekariya98]

@icehockeywarehouse Thank you so much.

[NavyHornet1]

I just bought a Sherwood 5030 woody, flex 85 senior stick. What is the lie on that stick ?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@NavyHornet1 Probably either a 5.5 or a 6. Which curve did you get?

Casey at IW Hockey

[NavyHornet1]

@icehockeywarehouse I think it's called a mid curve.

[icehockeywarehouse]

@NavyHornet1 The mid curves on that stick are both a 5.5 lie.

Erik at IW Hockey

[55dickhead]

is the lie for height

[icehockeywarehouse]

@55dickhead The lie determines the angle of the stick from the ground.

[Vinny19rocks]

does cutting down a stick effect the lie

[icehockeywarehouse]

@Vinny19rocks the angle between the blade and shaft does not change which is lie, but that will change your playing position.

Where can i find the Stick lie, on Newer sticks I buy? Where should i check ..??

[icehockeywarehouse]

@71Cree I don't believe it is usually on the stick, but a curve will usually only come in one lie. If you find the curve you have on our site, it should tell you what lie it is.

hey IW what stick is danny heatly using now i was jst wondering is it still an s19 dressed that is now jst painted white and taped white?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@pandaroo5247 I believe so but it is hard to tell for sure what sticks they are using. Usually they are custom sticks painted like the retail version.

@icehockeywarehouse true i gusse hes taking a page form james wisniweskis book of tricks eh? thx for the help guys

[xViroSHITatCOD]

@icehockeywarehouse Hi, i am 179 cm (5ft 11) and weigh 72kg, i take alot more snap and wrist shots rather than slapshots. What Lie should i get? (also if you could tell me what flex i should get that would be really helpful) :-)

[icehockeywarehouse]

@xViroSHITatCOD You would probably be good with a 85 to 87 flex depending on what stick you get. Lie is pretty much personal preference. It depends on your playing position and how you like to hold your stick.

Casey at IW Hockey

[MrRookie26]

I've heard that if you cut down the stick the lie can change, is that true?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@MrRookie26 the angle between the blade and shaft does not change which is lie, but that will change your playing position.

[jbang2008]

my bauer stick is a p88 which says its a lie 6 but lower to 5. Are there some bauer sticks that have a true lie 6 with the p88?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@jbang2008 Not that I am aware of.

[newjerseydevils1000]

im 12 years old im about 5'3 and a half and 125lbs what lie and flex sholud i have

[MrRookie26]

how can you measure the lie on a stick because I don't see it on the stick and often the guy at my local hockey shop doesn't know either.

[HockeyEh19]

I'm about 5'11 - 6'0 i like my stick handling and slap shots. i also like my slap shots. idk what lie to get, what do you recomend?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@HockeyEh19 I would probably go middle of the road with a 5. Thats the most common.

Tyson at IW Hockey

[shadowcheval]

What would be a good lie for rushing the puck?

[FlexThatStick]

I take lots of wrist and snapshots and a little bit of slapshots what lie is the best?

[sofa1king1cool]

ok so ive been playing competitivly for about 12 years now and im debating weather or not to change brands and lies. im a big guy at 6'4 with hands tho so i want to go to a lie 6. how ever im stuck between changing from easton to warrior in you honest opinion whis stick would you recomend the warrior brand or easton?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@sofa1king1cool All depends on what your looking for. I like both Warrior and Easton sticks. I have an EQ50 and really like that stick, excellent for all around performance.

[Pooponmyhard23]

What is the best lie for slapshot?

[jbang2008]

im 5'7 and im using a lie 5. whenever i take a shot, it always seems like im taking my shots from the toe and recieveing passes to the toe. Should i get a lie 5.5 or 6?

[rpgboyz3457]

Wat curve in rbk is like zetterburg

[icehockeywarehouse]

@rpgboyz3457 It was the P34 but they changed it to the P40 same curve different name.

[mrwingnut5]

Thanks for the informational video. I recently switched a to a lie of 5.5, but find my tape wearing down at the very end of the heel. It's also very uncomfortable when I'm carrying the puck. That being said which would be better a lie of 5 or 4? I'm 6'0 and have a fairly high skating stance if that helps. Thanks IW

[topcornerwristshot]

what lie would be best for a winger?!!!

[icehockeywarehouse]

@topcornerwristshot There isn't really a designated lie for positions. It depends on your stance and your height. Use the wear patterns of your previous sticks to see what lie will work best for you.

@topcornerwristshot thanks

[John97Cena]

I am 5 ft 4 and 143 lbs and I have Lie 6. Is it good for me???

[icehockeywarehouse]

@John97Cena It depends on several factors, but an easy way to tell is to look at the wear on the blade. If it is wearing in the heel portion, you should be sing a lower lie. If it is wearing more the the toe portion, you should be using a higher lie.

YOu guys gave the best advices, and I would like to purchase my gears from you guys, but since the big brands (like Easton and NB) won't allow you guys to ship overseas which got me a bit disappointed. But anyway, best tips and more technical than others, so two thumbs up for me.

Cheers.

[plapelc]

hi.thank you for useful videos. i have one question. my blade is always worn of on the heel. should i cut a stick a little bit so the whole shaft would be on the surface or should i change a lie?

[icehockeywarehouse]

@plapelc You could go with a lower lie or possible go with a shorter stick. It depends on personal preference and were your stick is at now.

[darnedsock]

So, I used to play with the SherWood Leclair stick. The lie was about a 4.5 and the pattern was quite plain, like a Sakic without the open face. Since there really aren't any pattens like that in the lower lies, can you compensate by cutting an inch or so off the length? I wouldn't want to over cut a $100+ stick to find out that's not a good fix.

[sampras03]

Thanks a lot for your reply. I noticed that nowadays a stick lie 4 is only available for Warrior sticks. Is that true? I could not find a stick lie 4 in any other hockey brand sticks.

[icehockeywarehouse]

That is correct, unfortunately because that lie is not too common, the selection is quite limited.

Hi. Thanks for the wonderful videos. I recently bought a CCM stick with a lie 5. I can see that the stick tape is wearing down at the heel. But I am a beginner hockey player and I started to play just couple of months ago. Should I look for a stick that is lie 4 or should I just try to play more upright. I don't know. Maybe you can suggest me the right choice.

[icehockeywarehouse]

It would really be your preference. I would probably just switch to a lie 4 stick, rather than trying to change the way you play.

[97stones]

i have a lie 14

[warriorsports86]

i have a question when ever i first got my stick the tape was wearing down at the heal but by the end of the year it was wearing evenly and i have a lie 6 but i dont like the curve and the curve i want is a lie five what should i do?

[icehockeywarehouse]

A lie 5 will probably be fine. You might just skate with the puck out in front of you a little more.

Both will be pretty similar, personal preference. I would probably lean toward the Bauer skate.

[warriorsports86]

@icehockeywarehouse thanks a lot and i have the bauer vapor x20 skates

[skateboards86]

if you have a hockey stick and your growing does that affect the lie on your stick because your taller and put your hands higher up on the stick

[icehockeywarehouse]

If you grow and your stick stays the same height the lie will be affected because you will have to skate is a different position. I would suggest adding a plug at the end of your stick so as you grow your stick can grow with you.

[skateboards86]

i have a intermidiate stick and i only ever see senior and jr plugs is there intermidiate plugs or do u use the jr or senior ones?

[icehockeywarehouse]

Yes there are only in Jr. and Sr. Depends on the stick it will usually be a Sr. plug. Example: Intermediate shafts use senior sticks.

Tyson

[skateboards86]

is say a lie 6 on a intermediate stick the same as a lie 6 on a sr even tho they are different lengths?

[ugotbawlz]

VERY VERY GOOD VIDEO...Thanks!

[monsterhockey7]

Inline/Ice Warehouse kicks all other hockey suppliers asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[charg3rsfan2185]

what lie, or should i cut my stick because my tape is wearing down at the heal.??

[icehockeywarehouse]

That is usually a sign that you should be using a lower lie. If you are using a lie 5 move to a lie 4.

[charg3rsfan2185]

but since im not sure if i can buy a stick now could i cut my stick down or do something else? i havnt cut it yet

[gocanesgo123]

finally so i can prove to my friends that it is really important

[thinkingjack]

this is the best tutorial/explanation for people looking to properly align the lie on their blades they use and figure it out best, thanks a bunch for posting it, now i can just simply link friends this video instead of explain it haha

[Hampeeeee18]

Nice video! :D
