Here are a few ways to help you choose your stick length:
To measure a child hold the hockey stick at their side. The top of the stick should sit between their hip and belly button.
If you can't decide between two sizes, consider your child’s position. Defenders sometimes prefer a longer stick for a longer reach in tackling and better power when slapping. A shorter stick improves a stick handling skills so could be considered for more attacking players.
Once a young person reaches the age of approximately 13 they will be in a full size stick ie 36.5”(5 f 3”), so you do not need to measure the stick to your hip or belly button once you reach this height.
The majority of hockey players use a 36.5” stick but many prefer the extra reach and power of a 37.5" and some even prefer a 38.5"

NOTE:If you are 5’10” you don’t have to use a 37.5″ stick, it is a matter of personal choice and equally someone under 5’10” may prefer a slightly longer Hockey stick and opt for the 37.5″, in our experience the majority of Hockey players us a 36.5″

The Truth is perfectly balanced in the middle of the stick, with a straight profile and engineered from Japanese Toray® carbon, the Naked Truth is the ultimate goalkeeper stick. When the ball is coming at you at 100mph it's the moment of truth. You need a stick than can handle it. It really is the ultimate goalkeeper stick from the ultimate goalkeeper.
My daughter loves this stick, great weight and balance. Very fast shipping!

Very disappointed
Stick has a great weight and good balance but I am really struggling with the lack of shock absorption and rebound. I am playing Premier League hockey and every time a save is made from a hit, the shock shots right up my arm and stays there. I have previously had a Naked goalie stick and loved it to pieces. There is also not as much rebound from this one as before. Very disappointing.
I have tried adding a chamois grip and tape to the stick but no improvement.
Hi Chris, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you like the weight and balance but sorry to hear about the shock absorption issues.

Great stick and reach with it
Best stick I’ve had in my keeper career. Great reach and no effort needed to deflect a ball
