be patient!
I agree with you a stick on its own can make a movement.
But like some already now out here. I have made very much types sticks and still getting new one to make. And try them all.

Some are better for a specific movement then others.. But when you have controll, and the skills, u can do with most sticks most off the skills.

But i really think the skill/technick is more important then the power/musle behind it. It can help indeed. But its not the most basic thing to have for a skill. It can help in the longer term to train the skill beter but in the basic/begin the technick is more important. And most technicks can be learnt very quikly. As long the basics technick is told in the good way.

I now how its told 10 year ago. And it lookt something like liam told

"the key is to spin the puck as much as possible by running it down the passing edge... key way to help with that is to keep the angle of the stick and wrist quite open and bring your elbow back as far as possible when you pass."

With only one differents. It must be done forwards and the elbow must be hold against the body.
An little time later we did get an video with some movements.
Like this.
