Find your stick
Find your stick
Answer three questions and we'll send you to one shelf of sticks. Your height answer picks the age range we stock sticks in, and your level answer picks the level of play — those two narrow the shelf. Your shooting-style answer narrows it further on two of the four styles; on the other two we can only take it as far as the shelf goes, and we would rather say so than pretend we have matched you exactly. This is advice for narrowing a shelf, not a stick picked for you: nothing here is binding, and if you are between answers, take the closest one and our team will sort out the detail.
Where these answers lead
Youth sticks
Short, light and soft enough for a young player to flex — usually a 20 to 40 flex. Level and shooting style matter far less than length at this stage, so buy for fit and replace as they grow.

A 40 to 52 flex on a shorter shaft with a smaller blade. If they are close to the top of the height range, size up rather than cutting a junior stick down — trimming stiffens it by about 5 flex per inch.
Shop junior sticksIntermediate sticks
A 55 to 70 flex on a slightly thinner shaft than senior — the right step for a growing player who can already load a stick but is not yet strong enough for a senior flex.

Durable builds at a price that survives beer league. Start around half your body weight in flex, and go softer if most of your shots are wrist shots.
Shop recreational sticksTwo-way sticks
A two-way game is decided on the shift that goes the other way, so balance beats specialisation. Look for a stick that loads and releases without a long wind-up and still has something left for the shot from the point, rather than a taper built for one or the other. We have no two-way filter to apply, so this link is the full senior performance shelf rather than a shortlist — the quick-release and power tapers are both sitting on it, and the Stick Spec Lab will narrow things down faster than the sort order will.

Not knowing your shot profile is a normal place to start, not a wrong answer. Sit in the middle of the range: a stick around your own height, a flex you can load with one hand, and no specialist taper. There is no 'not sure' filter to apply, so this link is the whole senior performance shelf rather than a shortlist — and the single-spec links on a stick's own page will let you narrow it down afterwards without guessing again.

A low kick point loads and releases in one motion, which is what you want off the rush and in traffic. Expect a thinner shaft and a stiffer lower section.
Shop quick-release sticksPerformance sticks, power taper
A mid kick point stores more energy through a longer load, which suits slap shots and one-timers from the point.
Shop power sticksElite senior sticks
The lightest layups each brand makes, with the most consistent flex profiles. Worth it if you play often enough to feel the difference — and if you can load the flex you have chosen.
