| Stick Weight Most players use a medium weight stick (M). Light sticks (L) are sometimes used by offensive players for quicker stickwork. Heavy sticks (H or T) are sometimes preferred by defensive players to increase the power of drives and the weight of the stick for tackling. |
Light (L): 18.0 - 19.5 oz.
Medium (M): 19.5 - 20.5 oz. Heavy (H or T): 20.5 + oz. |
| Stick Length There are many theories regarding the best stick length for a player, but generally stick length is a function of height. |
