Taking a unique approach to flex zones, this stick is designed to be less rigid towards the top of the shaft and maintain a lower handle stiffness towards the bottom of the shaft, allowing for maximized energy transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShaft Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Response R1000 utilizes Power Bed Fusion (PBF) technology to create and reinforce the shaft.

This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTP92 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a bit on the backhand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 Flex (TP28, TP92), L\/R - 43\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TPS Hockey","offers":[{"title":"TP28 \/ L-20","offer_id":43096918032450,"sku":"495616","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TP28 \/ R-20","offer_id":43096918065218,"sku":"495618","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TP92 \/ L-20","offer_id":43096918097986,"sku":"495617","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TP92 \/ R-20","offer_id":43096918130754,"sku":"495619","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1585\/4658\/files\/hockey-sticks-tps-response-r1000-intermediate-hockey-stick-1258847389.png?v=1789500672","url":"https:\/\/www.thehockeyshop.com\/products\/tps-response-r1000-youth-hockey-stick","provider":"TheHockeyShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
