Lacrosse Shafts

So many Quality Lacrosse Shafts to choose from . . .
If you have gotten checked by an old school wooden lacrosse shaft recently, you may be happy we don’t use them anymore. Mostly we have switched to scandium, titanium, or other light-weight metal alloys. Every lacrosse stick is composed of a head and a shaft.
Even though you can sometimes buy a head and a lacrosse shaft together, most players opt to buy them separately so that can get a higher quality of each. The best shafts are octagonal and not round. This allows you to get the best grip from 8 different positions. This is important because without a good grip you can lose your stick very easily and not be as accurate when you shoot.
Attack men’s lacrosse shafts are very short and light. They are designed to be very quick. In fact, they have made they have made them so light weight they get broken all time at college level. A defensemen has a longer, stronger shaft. We used to use graphite, than aluminum, than titanium alloy, but now there are even more choices.
Quality lacrosse shafts and manufactured by many companies including STX, Brine, deBeer, Warrior and many others. They are available for any level of experience or skill. Many companies will can custom make a shaft to your specificities of size and weight. As a long stick, I used a $3 hacksaw to cut a few inches off my stick for better performance.
Women’s lacrosse shafts are often shorter than men’s. All hollow shafts must have a protective rubber butt. This gives you a better grip but it is mostly to protect your opponent. Hockey style grip wrapping are fun for poke checking but illegal.
