I'm I right to believe there is no maximum stick length length?

Does anyone here play with a custom stick over 37.5"?

I can't hit the ball anyway so I figure having a longer stick can only aid my tackling! It's all about the inches!  Tongue

It certainly doesn't look like there is any length restriction in the rule book, but The total weight of the stick must not exceed 737 grams.  so at some point you will get a maximum length due to weight restrictions

Stacey will make a long stick for you (I have a custom 38.5") and you can got "off the shelf" from Grays as well as others (my local sports shop in Kent has a 40" Grays in stock for example!!)
