The difference between a mid-kick and a low-kick ball hockey stick lies in the location of the stick's flex point, which affects shot speed and power. Mid-kick sticks have a flex point nearer the middle of the shaft, delivering more power and are great for powerful slap shots and one-timers. Conversely, low-kick sticks have a flex point closer to the blade, which allows for a quicker release, ideal for quick wrist and snap shots.
