Its just somethin im good at, my wrister isnt that great even tho i practice, its prob b.c my stick feels too short and im just bending my back alot just to get that lift

how do you know your form is proper with slappers? you probably just feel more comfortable with it because you practice it a lot more than wristers... if you practice with improper form, you will feel comfortable with it, and then when you try to break bad habits, it will feel awkward.. if you were on jayare604s team in zinc2, no one had proper form for slappers.. so yea...
your wristers are suffering because of your flex and form. you can practice all you want but you will never be able to get a decent wrister off if you are using something you cannot bend.

yes, what is your point? slapshots are fine in pickup if you are smart about it. i am talking about morons who just skate in and wire it just to make up for their small dick.

in all honesty, anyone playing in the bottom tiers shouldn't really worry about 'flex' and all that. I use a fairly standard stick cause i know i'm not that good and fancy with that shit

if you are a noob, it is more important that you get a good flex and proper height stick, or else you will get into bad habits and make life hard as hell for you. would you start out wearing skates 2 sizes too big? gloves one size too big, and a helmet 2 sizes too small? no. end of discussion.

you are a harsh noob, and should be reading all the advice given in this thread, rather than giving advice.
