What is a good stick length for my height and body type?
Although I am only 5'7" I have always used a long stick. I have felt that the length gives me a better shot and more reach, since I am kind of stocky and slow. Players on all the rec. teams I have played on however have always said I need to cut it down-I am one of the shorter guys but always the longest stick!
I recently had a friend that coaches at a high level critique my skating, and he said I need to lower my centre of gravity and take a wider stance. I have done the opposite thinking that with my short legs I need to have a closer side push to get more speed.
I skated around a bit the way he suggested and now I do get the feeling my stick is too long. Its an expensive compo so I dont want to cut it.
Can I get some advice on my stick length in my situation?
Thanks.
Up to the chin on skates is a good place to start, but you can go as low as the shoulders if you like to handle or as high as the nose if you like the long reach for defense.
