flex has nothing to do with the curve of the blade......flex is the flexibility of the shaft.

if you have good puck control and prefer the snap shot and wrist shot, use a more flexable stick, if you are a putz and just like hard slapshots get one a little stiffer, as for the curve of the blade, keep buying different ones untill you find one you like generally the more curve the easier it will be to control the shot and get some lift on the puck
