Stick Sizing

[Peter36]

I looked online and didn't see any charts for stick sizing based off of height. Could anyone help me out?

If it helps I find the 26” paddle from Warrior to be about right. I likely could use a 25” but feel better with a 26”.  I’m 6’ + change if it helps. The brands very so trying them out is the best way to do it.

Paddle length or body height? 
 

At 5’8”, I was using a 23.5” paddle, which was fine in the butterfly but not so good in standing up. I now shave the bottom of a 26.5” paddle and notch the top 1.5” down. YMMV.
 

If I am misunderstanding your question, please forgive me and I will move to the back of the class.

Sorry, should have clarified. I am talking based off of body height.

The rule is: there are no rules; go with what is comfortable.

It can vary based on stance, style of play, etc. I'm 5'8" and use a 24" paddle (maybe 24.5", I'm not sure) and it works for me. I think I read one time that Ondřej Pavelec also used a 24" paddle, and he's 6'2".
