While standing with your arms at your side, fingers pointed down, have a friend measure the distance from the tip of your middle finger to the ground. Take the centimeter measument and round down. That is the size you want. When in doubt go shorter, nothing is worse than an axe that is too long.

No. I'm 6'3 and use the 70. Never wanted a longer axe.
