Best 35 Inch Field Hockey Sticks 2026

Who should use a 35 inch field hockey stick?

A 35 inch stick bridges junior and senior sizes. Teenagers who have outgrown a 34" often move here before going up to an adult 36.5".

As a rule of thumb, a 35" stick suits teenagers and shorter adult players: players who are 5'1"–5'4" (155–163 cm) tall. Height matters more than age, so measure before you buy. Adults choose between neighbouring sizes based on playing style: shorter for close control and dribbling, longer for reach, tackling and hitting.

The highlighted row shows where a 35" stick sits in our full field hockey stick size chart.

Between sizes? Go shorter for close control and dribbling, longer for reach and hitting. FIH rules cap stick length at 105 cm (41.3").

How to check 35" is the right length

1. Stand straight in your playing shoes and hold the stick upright beside you, toe on the ground.
2. The top of a 35" (88.9 cm) stick should reach your hip bone. If it reaches your belly button, it is too long; if it stops at the top of your thigh, it is too short.
3. Get into a ready position with knees bent. You should be able to keep the head flat on the ground without bending your back too far.

If 35" feels long, try a 34 inch stick. If it feels short, compare 35.5 inch sticks. The same length rule applies to indoor sticks; see indoor field hockey sticks if you search for a 35 inch indoor field hockey stick.
