THE DUTCH STICK SIZING METHOD
Hold your stick upside down, with the head in the air. Insert the head in your arm pit, as if the stick was a crutch.
A real crutch would reach the floor, while your stick ends somewhere near your knee.
Where the end of the handle is in relation to your knee is the key to proper fit.
The end of the handle should fall between the middle of your knee cap to no more than one inch below the knee cap.
Select a stick of that length, from your arm pit to middle of the knee cap, and you may be amazed at how much your ball control will improve.
Also, you are a lot less likely to cause unwanted lifted balls and broken stick heads. |
