Currently have a sherwood 85flex coffey stick and a bauer x50 87flex backstrom.
I'm trying to find something without a huge curve like my current sticks.

The only thing I've found is the Warrior sticks with lidstrom curve but they don't have a cheap wood option for me to try.
I would get a mid level shaft so you can play with different blade options in terms of curves and lies. This way you aren't stuck with a curve you don't like.. You can always adapt to diff curves, but if you are starting out, you will go through many curves and weigh the pro and cons of diff ones. Even now, I have switched between 3 diff curves in the last year.
