Senior

Senior sticks are made for adults and teens about 14 and up, usually around 5'7" and taller. Standing in your shoes, the stick should reach between your chin and your nose. Lighter or smaller players who find a senior stick too stiff can look at our intermediate sticks.

Popular senior sticks include the Knapper 2024 AK3, AK5 and AK7 Composite and AK Kevlar 390g; the Warrior Covert QR5 40 and 50, QR6 REV, Rise and Alpha LX2 Comp; the Dekadence DK99, DK88, DK77 and DK55 Big Shot and DK44 Carbon Fiber; the Fischer RC ONE XPRO and IS3; and the LDK Nova +.

Most adults use a senior flex somewhere in the middle of the range, and a good starting point is about half your body weight in pounds. Choose a lower flex if you rely on quick wrist shots and snap passes, and a higher flex if you're a bigger player with a heavy shot. If you cut your stick, it will play stiffer than the listed flex.

A grip coating, like on the Fischer RC ONE IS3 Composite with Grip, keeps your top hand locked in place for control on shots and battles. A non-grip finish lets your hands slide freely up and down the shaft, which some players prefer for stickhandling. Either way, you can customize the feel with grip tape or a stick wrap from our tape collection.
