HOW LONG SHOULD A FLOORBALL STICK BE?
A common rule of thumb is that the floorball stick should reach your belly button when held upright. However, playing style and position can affect what length is best for each player.
For children and junior players, the floorball stick should reach the belly button or slightly above. Do not choose a stick that reaches higher than the chest, but also avoid buying one that is too short, as children grow. Playing with a slightly longer stick can also be a matter of personal preference and habit.
Read our size charts below every stick model that shows a simple guide when choosing the correct floorball stick length.
SHOULD I MEASURE THE STICK WITH OR WITHOUT THE BLADE?
When comparing stick lengths with size charts, the standard measurement is the shaft length without the blade.
A blade adds approximately 10 cm to the total length. All ZONE sticks display both the shaft length and the total length.
CAN I SHORTEN A FLOORBALL STICK THAT IS TOO LONG?
Yes! It is common to purchase a longer floorball stick and adjust it by cutting the shaft to the desired length.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER TO CHOOSE LEFT OR RIGHT?
Hold the floorball stick as if you were going to play. The hand placed lowest on the shaft determines which option you should choose.
If your right hand is at the bottom, choose a Right stick. If your left hand is at the bottom, choose a Left stick. You can also identify the correct side by looking at the direction in which the blade is curved.
Left and Right describe the direction in which the blade is curved and do not necessarily correspond to whether you are right-handed or left-handed.
WHAT DOES THE FLEX RATING ON A FLOORBALL STICK MEAN?
The flex rating indicates how much the shaft bends under pressure. A lower flex rating means a stiffer shaft, while a higher flex rating means a softer shaft. For example, flex 26 is stiffer than flex 29.
Junior players should choose a softer flex, often 32 or higher, depending on their age and weight.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE CORRECT FLEX FOR MY FLOORBALL STICK?
Flex should primarily be chosen based on the player’s strength, weight and shooting technique.
Younger and lighter players generally find it easier to load a softer floorball stick with a higher flex rating. Stronger players can often use a stiffer stick with a lower flex rating.
A floorball stick that is too stiff can be difficult to load and may negatively affect technique, while a stick that is too soft may provide less stability and precision for a stronger player.
Junior players should choose a softer flex, often 32 or higher, depending on their age and weight.
SHOULD I CHOOSE A LIGHT OR HEAVY FLOORBALL STICK?
A lightweight floorball stick can allow for quicker movements and make ball handling easier. A slightly heavier stick may feel more stable.
The most suitable weight depends on the player’s strength, technique and personal preferences.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CARBON FIBER AND FIBERGLASS FLOORBALL STICK?
Carbon fiber is used to create lightweight and responsive shafts. Fiberglass generally produces a slightly heavier and stronger shaft that is often suitable for beginners and junior players. Especially as the price often is lower for a stick made of fiber glass than for a stick made of carbon fiber.
Many floorball sticks contain a combination of both materials to balance weight, feel and durability.
IS THE SAME STICK SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS?
Beginners often benefit from an easy-to-handle floorball stick with a softer flex and an all-round blade.
More experienced players may choose more specialized models based on their technique, playing style and personal preferences.
The most important thing is that the floorball stick has the correct length, grip direction and flex for the player.
ARE ALL FLOORBALL STICK APPROVED FOR MATCH PLAY?
Floorball sticks used in official matches must comply with the rules and approvals that apply to the competition.
Check the product information and the markings on the stick if you are unsure.
