Our take on the Franklin Sports Junior Ice Hockey Stick - Ripper
The Franklin Sports Ripper is a 55-inch junior ice hockey stick with a 50 flex, a right-handed mid-curve blade and a textured grip on the shaft. The 50 flex is soft enough for a young player to load the stick and get real bend into passes and shots, and the mid curve is a forgiving, all-around blade pattern for learning puck control. It is a wood-and-composite-style entry stick aimed at house-league and rec juniors rather than elite travel players, so it trades top-end pop and light weight for durability and a low cost of entry. Reviewers of junior sticks in this class generally find them fine for practice and casual games but heavier and less lively than branded composite models.
- 50 flex suits lighter junior players
- 55-inch length fits most juniors
- Mid-curve blade is easy to learn with
- Textured shaft grip helps small hands
- Right-handed lie for left-shooting players

About the Franklin Sports Junior Ice Hockey Stick - Ripper
The Franklin Sports Ripper is a 55-inch right-handed ice hockey stick for junior players. It has a lightweight design and a 50 flex. The flex lets players put more of their body weight on the stick, so it bends more easily, which helps with passing and shooting.
The top layer of the shaft has a textured surface that helps kids keep a grip on the stick. The blade has a mid curve, made for puck control and shooting technique in junior players.
A general rule is that a stick's flex should be about half of the player's body weight. Stick height depends on player preference. A common guideline is that the stick should end between the player's chin and nose when the player is standing.

Questions and answers
- What flex is the Ripper junior stick?
- It is a 50 flex. Franklin's rule of thumb is that flex should be about half the player's body weight, so it suits a junior around 100 pounds.
- How long is it, and who does 55 inches fit?
- It measures 55 inches. Standing in shoes, the stick should reach between the player's chin and nose; taller juniors may need a longer stick.
- Is it right- or left-handed?
- It is right-handed, meaning it is held with the left hand on top and the right hand lower for a left-shooting player.
- What kind of blade curve does it have?
- A mid curve, a middle-of-the-road pattern that helps with puck control and an easy, repeatable shot release.
- Is it for ice hockey only?
- Franklin markets it as an ice hockey stick. The shaft and blade will hold up to street and driveway use, but abrasive surfaces wear them faster.
- Does it come with tape or a ball?
- No. The stick is sold on its own, so plan on buying tape and a puck or ball separately.
