Like the title says the tape on my stick always wears away first on the heel. Does this mean I need a stick with a different angled blade? Or am I not getting low enough?
For reference I'm 198 cm (6'5") and have to add extenders to my stick to make them fit.

I’ve been told that usually means the stick is too long for you, make sure your blade is sitting flat on the ice.

If you're getting wear on the heel then a different lie on the stick may help. You'd want a lower lie potentially.
