Short answer: buy the Long Training Stick first. Stick Mobility now sells two lengths, not four. The Long is 76 inches and the Short is 56 inches. If you are buying one stick, buy the Long. If you are buying the system, buy the bundle, which is two Longs and one Short.

Why the Long stick is the right first purchase
Length is leverage. Leverage is what makes the stick work.
The stick does its job by bending. You push one end into the floor, pull the other, and the flex gives you something to work against. A longer stick bends more for the same effort, which means more feedback and more range to play with.
The Long also reaches the floor from a standing position without you having to hinge to get there. That sounds minor. It is the difference between being able to do the Bow and Arrow properly and improvising a version of it.
If you are stiff, new to this, or working on balance, the extra length is doing more for you, not less. Shorter is not easier here. Shorter is just shorter.

The Short is not a beginner version of the Long. It is a different tool. It comes into its own in three situations.
Low ceilings and small rooms. If you train in a spare bedroom or a garage with storage overhead, the Long will hit things. The Short will not.
Travel. Neither fits in a suitcase, but the Short fits in a car without folding a seat down.
Wrist, elbow and shoulder detail work. Shorter lever, less flex, more control. For the small joint work the Short is genuinely better, not just adequate.
Buying the Short as your only stick is the one mistake we see. People choose it on price or on space and then find half the exercises in the video library do not work. If space is the constraint, that is a real reason. If price is the constraint, wait and buy the Long.
Is the bundle worth it?
Two Longs and one Short for $277, against $277 if you bought the same three separately. So the bundle is not really a discount. It is a decision.
The reason to buy it is that a meaningful chunk of the system needs two sticks. Anything where you are creating a frame around yourself, anything where both hands are anchored to the floor independently, anything in the hanging and traction family. With one stick those exercises are not harder. They are unavailable.
One stick teaches you the method. Two sticks let you use it.
Our honest split: if this is a curiosity, buy the Long and see if you actually use it. If you already know you will train with these weekly, or you are a coach who will put clients on them, buy the bundle now and skip the upgrade.
Markow at checkout.Does your height still matter?
Not for choosing any more. With two lengths the choice is made by your space and your goal, not your inseam.
Height still changes how the stick feels. Taller people will find the Long behaves like the old 6ft did for shorter clients, so expect slightly less flex at the same effort. Push harder into the floor. Shorter people get more bend for free and should be careful not to let the stick do all the work.
What we actually use
We keep multiple bundles in the studio because we run Kinstretch classes and need enough for everyone. At home I keep two Longs in the corner by the desk. That is the highest value thing I have done with them. Movement breaks through the day beat a dedicated mobility session almost every time, because they actually happen.
What the sticks are good for
Range of motion, joint stability, balance, posture, full body strength, coordination, tissue quality, motor control and body awareness. They are also one of the few tools that scale down far enough for a deconditioned beginner and up far enough for an athlete without swapping equipment.

Stick Mobility buying FAQ
Which Stick Mobility stick should I get?
Get the Long Training Stick, 76 inches, if you are buying one. It gives you the most leverage and unlocks the widest range of exercises. Buy the bundle, two Long and one Short, if you want the complete system.
Do they still sell the 6ft and 7ft sticks?
No. Stick Mobility retired the 4, 5, 6 and 7 foot sticks. The current lineup is a 76 inch Long and a 56 inch Short. Older buying guides that ask for your height are out of date.
How much does Stick Mobility cost?
As of August 2026 the Long Training Stick is $99, the Short is $79, and the bundle of two Long plus one Short is $277. Prices change, so check before you buy.
Do I need more than one stick?
Not to start. One Long covers most of the system. A meaningful group of exercises needs two sticks, so most people who stick with it end up with a second one.
Is the Short stick good for beginners?
No, and this is the common mistake. Short is for tight spaces and small joint work, not for beginners. A beginner gets more help from the extra leverage of the Long.
