Agree with Jon about high stick, just call Mallet to body and warning on players who almost hit another one should be enough these days. Maybe that the shaft count was a step backward also, people will try to score more often on air ball.
An high stick rule who don't take care of context or style of the move is stupid. A player who try to catch a lob pass by reaching his mallet as a T over is head will probably never gonna hurt someone seriously. A player trying to swing an air ball at chest high right under his shoulders can really hurt somebody .
