Stick sizes are given in inches. 1" = 2.54 cm. For adults, the standard size is 36.5".Certain sticks are available in 37.5" and 38.5" for greater reach and increased power. They are for very advanced players. A player over 1.80 m tall may also choose a 37.5" or 38.5" stick, but they should make sure the other characteristics (composition, bow, etc.) are suited to their level.
