Use the exact stick's listed length and size category, then choose left or right from the player's lower hand and compare the shaft and blade materials with the playing surface. Franklin lists 40- and 46-inch youth, 48- and 52-inch junior, and 56- and 58-inch senior sticks; Mylec's MK1 senior ABS model is 58 inches.
Choose a stick that fits the player’s reach and the surface where it will be used. Street sticks are sold in maker-specific length categories, and the lower hand determines the shooting side.

| Maker-listed size | Franklin examples |
|---|---|
| Youth | 40 and 46 inches |
| Junior | 48 and 52 inches |
| Senior | 56 and 58 inches |
These are Franklin’s current listed options, not a universal chart for every brand. Mylec lists its MK1 Senior ABS model at 58 inches from heel to top and describes it for street surfaces. Use the dimensions and instructions for the exact stick.
Match shooting side and blade
Ask the player to hold the stick in a comfortable stance. The hand closest to the blade is the lower hand: left lower hand means a left-shooting stick, and right lower hand means right. Confirm that the selected size is actually sold in that side.
Choose construction for the surface
Street sticks may use replaceable or ABS blades made for outdoor play. Compare the product’s shaft and blade construction, whether the blade can be replaced, and the surface stated by its maker. Repeated use on rough pavement wears a blade faster than smooth sport court.

How do I choose a left or right street hockey stick?
