35". Only way to go, for someone as short as me.

35" as well. 41's seem too much to handle now that im used to a 35"er, it just seems so much more clumbsy.

Oh yeah, as long as your arms dont have like a 1/2" circumfrence. Slightly less than a 40", but still enough.

I use the full length on my shaft. It does not bother me.

I use an attack/middie length shaft.

I tried using an attack shaft, but found i could get very little leverage on long throws.

I use about a 35 inch shaft. I can launch outlets fine. My shaft is a Titan Classic, though, and if I were to do it all over again, I'd probably go with a Kryptolyte.

a/m shaft im only 5 feet even and so I was havin trouble makin off stick saves
but I think i might get a bigger shaft on there soon for extra leverage

I tried that soon after I started playing goalie. It didn't work out though. I don't know, you wouldn't think the extra 4" or so would make a difference, but I can't play with a short stick.

I only play w/ the full 40". Anything less feels off balanced for me.

I play with an attack length. I am short as well and fine the longer shaft hinders my save abilty.
