Stick Height

Recommended Posts

Just wanting to compare with others...as i think i may have my sticks a bit too short.

With your bare feet on the floor...how high does yor stick come up against your body

Mine tend to come right between my eyes (remember this is with bare feet

is there a general rule~?

That seems pretty big in my opinion. Depends on your skating style though. If you skate upright you're gonna need a bigger stick.

My one95 comes up to the tip of my nose. It's the stick I use exclusively for playing D. The longer shaft gives it a little more flex for slappers, and it just helps for poke checking. It's got a 5.5 or 6 lie.

My XXXX is right up to my chin without skates, and up to my collarbone with skates. The shorter stick is nice for stick handling. 7 lie.

Just looked at mine again and i think its more like the tip of my nose too. Just cut down my sherwood spezza and crosby to the same length as my Titan (which gives me good play) in the hope that they will perform the same

Adam's Apple without skates. My dominant hand is on top with the butt end buried in my palm. Anything longer doesn't feel right on poke checks and such.

All of my sticks come up to my top lip without skates and just under my chin in skates. Although, as I get older my stick length is increasing...gets harder and harder to stay bent over while skating. Over the last 10 years my stick length has increased a couple of inches.

Four fingers on the grip, pinky off the end.

yeah I did that, now my pinky's knuckle clicks whenever I flex it.

I've had mine crushed twice. Nail fell off and everything but I can't change. Nothing else feels right.

I guess I am the exception. My shortest is 61-inches and with my skates off is mid-forhead. I also use a 63-inch stick and it is over my hairline. I am 6'0-6'1.

I just always liked really long sticks. I tried 59-inch or so (up to my nose without skates) and just felt too crouched over to do anything. I am a fairly upright skater.

I am the same way, my sticks are all cut to between my eyes with skates off. I also play a lot of defense and like to have the longer stick for pokechecks.

Me too. I primarly play defense. I also always play on the power play, usually one minute at the point and another sceening the goalie.

The long stick (63") gives really good velcity on my shot and is great for playing defense in my own end, so that is my primary stick. I use the shorter (61") stick when playing in front of the net as it always be to handle the puck closer to my body a bit easier.

I usually rock the stick however it comes. I'm 6'0" tall and it usually works out perfect for me and if not then I adjust. I just can't get used to an extension

i know what you mean , i hate extentions. i accidentally cut my brand new rbk about 3\4 inch too short and i could not for the life of me adjust to it, and i put an extention in it and it kills my feel and makes the stick feel different
