What are the ways to tell the flex on Easton, Reebok, Bauer, etc on prostock sticks. I know Bauer has the numbers by the players name and the middle number is the flex, but what about the other companies?

Bauer has the numbers on the nameplate. I've also seen the pattern number and flex stamped on blades.

Easton has a sticker inside the top of the shaft of you pop the plug off.

CCM/Reebok usually have the flex on the nameplate too, but those didn't always seem accurate to me. Maybe inside the top of the shaft too.

Warrior will have a 9 digit code on the back. The first 3 digits indicate flex according to the old Innovative scale.

If your bag has wheels, you don't.

The letters in the series of numbers on the back of Easton's indicate the flex I think B's are 80's and f's are 100N ot sure of those are the exact but that's what the letters mean

Or 125 flex...? :) If the list above is correct.

Removed the plug on a A. Kostitsyn S19 I have and it was labeled 115 inside which seems correct in terms of flex. The code thats stamped on the back of the shaft is WC5Y10, but that doesn't seem to fit into the "alphabetical"-scale for flex. Is the flex letter written somewhere else? Thanks

Okay, here's my Rome RS. Which code represents the flex?

Also, he has this extension plugged into the shaft making this thing way too long for me. I can't seem to be able to simply pull it out, do players usually glue these things in, or do they torch the shaft to expand it to fit the plug in? The end of the shaft has the grip coating scraped off.

You would need to heat up the top of the shaft with a heat gun as glue is used to hold the extension in place.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was that code or the set under the barcode.
