Floorball Sticks – Control, Speed & Maximum Ball Feel

Floorball sticks are the most important piece of equipment on the court. Length, flex, blade shape and weight directly influence ball control, passing accuracy and shooting performance. Whether you are a beginner, recreational player or competitive athlete – choosing the right floorball stick has a major impact on your game.

What makes a good floorball stick?

• Correct stick length: Ensures proper posture, better control and efficient movement.
• Flex (shaft stiffness): Determines how much the shaft bends and affects shooting power and touch.
• Weight: Lighter sticks allow faster handling and quicker reactions.
• Blade: Curve, concavity and stiffness define passing, ball control and shooting style.
• Grip: A high-quality grip provides secure handling and consistent control.

Which stick length is right for you?

• Under 150 cm body height: approx. 75–82 cm shaft
• 150–170 cm body height: approx. 85–92 cm shaft
• 170–185 cm body height: approx. 95–98 cm shaft
• Over 185 cm body height: approx. 100–104 cm shaft

Which flex suits your playing style?

• Soft flex (29 mm and higher): Ideal for beginners, youth players and technical play – easy to handle and forgiving.
• Medium flex (26–28 mm): The most popular all-round range – balanced control and power.
• Hard flex (23–25 mm): For strong, experienced players – maximum power for shots and passes.

Can you cut a floorball stick?

Yes, floorball sticks can be cut – and this is very common. Cutting the stick is an effective way to adjust it perfectly to your body height and playing style.

• Always cut at the grip end, never at the blade.
• Remove the grip, cut the shaft and re-tape it.
• Cutting the stick makes it stiffer (lower flex).

What to consider when buying a floorball stick

• Skill level: Beginners benefit from softer flex and more durable constructions.
• Playing position: Forwards often prefer lighter sticks, defenders slightly more stability.
• Blade type: More curve for shooting, flatter blades for passing and control.
• Balance: A well-balanced stick feels faster and more precise.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about floorball sticks

How long should a floorball stick be?

The stick should reach approximately to your navel when standing upright. This ensures good ergonomics and ball control.

Is a softer or harder flex better?

Softer flex is easier to play and ideal for technique and beginners. Harder flex suits strong, experienced players.

Can I shorten a floorball stick?

Yes. Floorball sticks can be shortened easily. Keep in mind that cutting makes the shaft stiffer.

How long does a floorball stick last?

Durability depends on playing intensity and material. Lightweight carbon sticks offer top performance but are less forgiving than more robust models.
