Peter36 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I looked online and didn't see any charts for stick sizing based off of height. Could anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benner33 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

goalie381 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
