How much should you spend?
Beginners and juniors rarely need more than $100. Improving club players get the best value between $100 and $200. Elite players and adults who play several times a week benefit most from $200–$300 high-carbon sticks. Spending more does not make a stick easier to use: high-carbon sticks are stiffer and less forgiving.
Sizing still comes first; see our stick length guide.
