Pretty much what BlueG2 said. You're exactly the same height and just a few pounds lighter than I am, and I'm using an intermediate stick cut down an inch. Definitely look for a lighter flex- have you been using cut down sticks? If you're saying that you hadn't found a perfect stick that's probably because you've been using too stiff of sticks. Personally I'd recommend grabbing an intermediate shaft and blade and give those a shot. I started out with an Easton Typhoon shaft, which's only 30$ at CT, 70 flex and comes with an end plug. Give that a try if you think you're burning a hole through your wallet with all those sticks.
