I know there are extensions i used one on my junior stick until i finally gave it for being to small for me. I didnt know they were only 60" though. I would have to get a stick extension no matter what size i get.
Nope. 60" refers to the length from the butt end to the bottom of the heel, but when you stand a stick up straight it doesn't sit on the heel, it sits on the toe, which adds an extra 6ish inches. So a 60" senior stick (not all senior sticks are 60", but that's the standard length) actually comes up to about 66" with the toe on the ground. If you're a forward, or really anyone who puts more emphasis on stick handling and shooting than poke checking, you should use a stick that comes up to somewhere between your chin and your collar bone
ON SKATES, if you're 6' tall a 60" stick will come up to about 2" above your chin on skates (too high IMO), while a 57" stick (intermediate) will probably come up to about 1" below below your chin (about right, depends on personal preference).
With your skates off this rule of thumb for stick height roughly goes from "
between chin and collar bone with skates on" to roughly "
between nose and chin in bare feet." All of this with the stick resting on its toe, completely vertical, and with your legs straight and your head level, not pointing up of down. At your height you should be cutting around 2-4" off a senior (depending on your preference), while an intermediate should already be roughly the right length.
I would say you can probably get by with an intermediate, height wise it should be fine, flex wise it's on the whippy side for sure, but if you like it then that's fine. It'll be a bit less durable than going with a 75-77" flex senior, but also a bit cheaper, so that evens out, and if you like the flex then why not?
*Note: a 77 flex intermediate is whippier than a 77 flex senior, because a senior stick cut down 3" to intermediate height will add about 10 to the flex (so a 77 flex senior cut down to an intermediate height will have a roughly 87 flex).
