How to choose the right hockey stick

Choosing a hockey stick is about more than just looks. The right stick can make a real difference in speed, control and comfort during play. Your choice depends on your height, technique, playing position and personal preferences such as weight and balance. The surface you play on, whether indoor or outdoor, also influences your decision.

While some players benefit from a stiffer stick for more power, others need more flexibility for better ball control. By carefully considering factors like length, material, bow shape and weight, you can get the most out of your performance. Our filters guide you through this process step by step so you can make your choice with confidence.

How to determine the right length for your hockey stick

A properly chosen stick length promotes a natural posture and gives you better control. As a general rule, when standing upright, your stick should reach just below your hip when placed on the ground. This gives good reach without straining your back or wrists unnecessarily. A stick that’s too long can hinder your technique, while one that’s too short can limit your reach.

Juniors often use shorter sticks for better agility, while adult players typically choose lengths between 36.5 and 38.5 inches. Here's a useful reference for choosing stick length:

• Up to 120 cm in height: 26–28 inch
• 120–135 cm: 30 inch
• 135–150 cm: 32 inch
• 150–165 cm: 34 inch
• 165 cm and taller: 36.5–38.5 inch

If in doubt, get advice, especially if you're new to the sport.

Material and composition: which one fits your play style

A hockey stick is usually made from a mix of carbon, fiberglass, aramid or wood. The material influences the stiffness, durability and overall weight of the stick. A carbon stick is lightweight and stiff and delivers powerful hits. It’s great for strong plays and pushing techniques but does demand more skill. Sticks with lower carbon content or more fiberglass are more flexible, offering better control and being generally more forgiving for beginners.

For those just starting out, a wooden stick or a composite stick is a great beginner-friendly option. Wood feels softer and offers natural ball control, while a composite stick combines strength and durability at a reasonable price. Experienced players often choose sticks with 70% or more carbon for extra hitting and drag flicking power. Your individual preferences and experience level play a crucial role in this decision.

The bow of your hockey stick: which shape suits you

The shape or bow of a hockey stick affects your technique, especially for pushing, drag flicks and hitting. A low bow stick (with the bend closer to the head) is helpful for drag moves and dribbling, keeping the ball low and tight to the ground. Low bow sticks are often favored by advanced players looking to generate extra speed in their plays.

A mid bow stick has a more evenly distributed curve and offers greater control. It’s a great pick if you often pass, defend, or are still learning. High bow sticks are less common but can support specific technical skills. It’s important to note that the lower the bow, the more technically demanding your play becomes. So choose the bow shape that best fits your style, comfort and preferred techniques.

Weight and balance: find your perfect stick

A stick’s weight directly impacts your speed and control. Lightweight sticks are more agile and perfect for fast movements and technical players. Heavier sticks offer more power during hits and provide better stability for defensive play. Junior sticks are usually lighter for easier handling, while adult sticks range from ultra-light to medium weight, tailored to different playing styles.

Stick balance also matters. The balance point determines where the center of gravity lies. Sticks with a higher balance point (more weight near the grip) feel lighter when dribbling, while those with a low balance point (more weight towards the hook) offer more power for passes and hits. Try different options to discover what feels best for your game.

Hockey sticks for different players

Every player is unique, which is why our collection includes the right stick for every age and skill level.

We divide our selection clearly by juniors, adults, indoor, outdoor and by brand.

Using our filter system, you can easily select by age group, size and playing goal. This helps everyone quickly find the right stick. Whether you're training techniques or scoring goals, the right stick will boost both your enjoyment and your results.

Hockey sticks for juniors and kids

Children have different needs when it comes to hockey sticks compared to adults. Junior sticks are generally made from lighter materials such as wood or composite, making them easy to handle. The grip is slimmer to fit smaller hands, and lengths are adapted to a child’s height as they grow. This helps young players develop good technique from the start without being burdened by a stick that’s too long or heavy.

There are also fun, kid-friendly designs available which can improve motivation and enjoyment. Especially in the early years, it’s best to prioritize comfort and control over power. As technique improves, players can move on to sticks with more power and customized bow shapes. Our wide selection of junior sticks makes that progression easier.

Hockey sticks for adults: men and women

Sticks for adults are typically longer, heavier and stiffer compared to junior versions. Subtle differences in grip size, weight and length depend on personal preferences, physical build and playing style. Some sticks feature narrower grips or more flexible shafts, which can be beneficial if you have smaller hands or want a softer touch on the ball.

Both men and women can choose from a wide range of models, with no hard gender divisions. What matters most is the fit and balance of the stick. Field players often opt for medium-weight sticks with high control, while specialist players go for extreme bows or high carbon content. Need help? Our filters will guide you step by step to the perfect stick.

Field vs. indoor hockey sticks: the differences

Playing indoors in winter? Then you'll need a different hockey stick than for the field. Indoor sticks are lighter, thinner and made entirely from composite or wood. They're designed for speed and ball control on smooth surfaces without heavy impacts. The head is flatter and the stick contains less carbon, giving more finesse for quick passes and combinations on a smaller pitch.

Field sticks are more robust, usually with a wider head and stiffer build thanks to more carbon. They're better suited for contact with artificial turf and harder balls. Using an indoor stick outdoors or vice versa is strongly discouraged. It can damage your stick and worsen your performance. If you play year-round, it’s smart to invest in both types.

Maintaining your hockey stick for maximum lifespan

Proper care extends the life of your hockey stick. Rinse your stick after use if you played on wet turf or a muddy pitch. Dry it off with a cloth and store it at room temperature, upright if possible, and never wet in a bag or in direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to moisture or heat will damage the materials.

Regularly check for hairline cracks, peeling tape or wear on the head. Protect the underside of the stick by avoiding aggressive scraping along the ground and hitting flat shots with care. With heavy use, replacing your stick annually is recommended depending on wear and frequency of play. This helps prevent injury and ensures optimal ball control.
