#GoalieCrowd Stick Height Database

[TheGoalNet]

How tall are you and what size paddle do you use? 

I am about 6'2" and use a 26".

I used to 25" under the rationale that I had better control in the butterfly. They became hard to find and I made the switch to 26"... been thinking about switching back to 25" 

[bunnyman666]

5’8.5” and I use a shaved 25”; found Bauer’s 24.5” intermediate to be better and now I can’t find the replacement for the Total One NXG 24.5” stick. ?Love that paddle shape, as well. 

[SaveByRichter35]

I am just shy of 5'10" and my Warrior sticks are a 26" paddle, my Passau sticks are a 27" paddle, and my one remaining Sherwood 9950 is a 25".  The Warriors and the Passaus are all physically the same size despite the numerical difference.

[Punisher Goalie]

5’8”, I use the newer Bauer 25” or CCM 26” and cut down the shaft 3-4 inches a la Mr. Price. 

Now that I have some CCM foam cores, I’m going to experiment with shaping the paddle, prob trigger. 

[motowngoalie]

6' 2" - use a 27" paddle on Warrior and Brian's sticks.

[Doobiesnax]

6'1" using 27" CCM sticks.

[Murray]

5'10", 26" CCM, shaft cut down around 4 inches.

[BadAngle41]

5'10" and using 27.5" Passau... roughly 25.5" in terms of Warrior or Sherwood.

[coopaloop1234]

5'10" - Warrior Swagger 25"

[IPv6Freely]

5'9" using Warrior 26"

[Moose75]

~6'2", 26" usually

[Fullright]

5'5", 25" or 26" depending on how the manufacturer measures the stick.

[Chenner29]

25" as measured by CCM.  5'11.

[1C5]

6'2" and use a 25" 1S stick.

@1C5 - any reason you use a shorter paddle for a guy your size?

Same reason you mentioned in original post. Feel like I have better control in butterfly and in plays around the net when I'm down.

I imagine a taller goalie in a shorter stick likely indicates somebody with a lower stance.

Though from what I’ve read you’re actually supposed to measure based on stick placement while in the butterfly, but I have no idea.

5'8"

25 in Sherwood sizing

I'm on my last Sherwood and will be using Vaughn for the foreseeable future - same sizing

[creasecollector]

I'm 5'5" and I use a 25" CCM Premier Stick. 

I've never used a 24", but I will want to try that at some point the future. I really like the 25"'s, but I've always wanted to experiment a 24 paddle in my stance as well. 

[keeperton]

I'm 5'7" and use a 26" by Sherwood standards, no idea how you tall guys use such short paddles in your stance.

5´11" and I use Bauer 25". There was a photo in Warrior Finland IG that Laurent Brossoit use 22" Warrior with extra long shaft.

6’ 1.5” but 6’4” on skates, I think your height on skates is more relevant because of different skate height, you could have a guy that’s in 1s skates grafs and they’ll be different....anyways I buy Bauer sticks as 27” a paddle but I cut the paddle like Lundquist so when I’m done with it it’s about 25 3/4”

[TheGoalNet]

Switched to the 25” Lie 12 CCM and love it. Naturally sets my hand perfectly. As a reminder, I’m about 6’2”.

My CR1 25” is a lie 14 and feels a little short. Crazy how much the lie can impact things and that the industry has basically gone away from discussing that at Retail. Overall, CR1 seems like a solid stick 

Even though both sticks are variations of the Price curve, the Warrior plays almost 1" shorter because of the differences in lies. 

[Znowleopard]

I'm 185cm(6') and I use a 70cm(27") ccm stick, used a 25' reebok stick for a while but didn't like how low my blocker was this now is pretty perfect

This thread isn't especially useful unless you're using actual measurements like we were TRYING to determine in another thread (though that one was quickly de-railed too by people posting manufacturer sizes instead of real sizes)
