BROOMBALL STICK OR “BROOM”

Brooms typically have a wooden or aluminum shaft (similar to a lacrosse stick shaft) and a rubber triangular or rectangular head. Most competitive players opt for an aluminum shaft or better.  Standard stick length is 46 inches, although most higher-end sticks can be purchased in a “long” version, which is 52 inches. Long sticks are best suited to players 6 feet tall or taller. Sticks may also be cut down for shorter players. All sticks have an end cap that helps prevent injury from being inadvertently speared by the shaft and are required to be on.

Brooms start as low as $30, with decent brooms costing $70 or higher.
