Question I need your advices!

Hi everyone! I'm not new to this forum (I've been looking at it since 2 weeks) but I'm a quite new Lacrosse player. I plan to buy a Triton head.

Firts, is this head good?
Secondly, What shaft should I buy with it? (not over 30$, but 35$ could be ok I just dont want to buy a shaft at 80$)
Third, should I choose a soft or a hard mesh? I play attack/mid (I know it's a question of "feeling" but just tell me what you guys prefer)
And finally, what is the best website to by my stuff online? The Lacrosse Equipment Superstore seems good but I want to know what you think about it

And anyone here have tryed some Warrior : MPG stuff? If yes, just tell me what piece you've tried and tell me if you liked it!

Thanks to everyone who answer me!

well I currently have the triton and I play attack...I really like it. It's light and pinched enough, and also I love the stringing holes. For shafts, I would look into the new Gait Splatter shaft. It is made out of cu31 alloy which is great for starting out because it's exceptionally solid and light. You can buy one on Lacrosse Equipment - low prices on lacrosse equipment at TL Fritts Lacrosse Digest for $37.50. Other decent shafts that are in your price range are the Warrior Platinum alloy and the STX Vanadium. They both sem to be solid shafts and can be found cheap (try lacrosse digest and qclax.com). I personally would try out the new splatter because it seems like a sick shaft for $37 and would make a great combo with the triton. Good Luck with your purchasing

While the Vanadium is good, for a begginner, I believe it is a bit overkill. For even cheaper, and not sacrificing much in the strength/weight catogories, get an STX Steel 7000.

Also, MPG stuff isn't all too great. Warrior, IMO isn't all too great. Let's go STX!!

Tritoni s a great desicion. It is my back up head at the moment. Also any of the shafts these guys are suggesting is good. Strong = STX Steel 7000
Light = Platinum Alloy (with in price range and pretty light)

I hope you keep visiting this forum. It is a great place and you can find out a lot of stuff here. Have fun playing lacrosse!

Hi guys! I want to know your opinion once again
I hesitate between these 2 gloves :

- STX: Chopper GL The Lacrosse Equipment Superstore

- Warrior: Hypno The Lacrosse Equipment Superstore

So what you guys think about this?

Actually, I compared them at the store, and, believe it or not, the Steel was at least as light as the Platinum. Either are good choices though.

About the gloves: take your pick. They are both good, though they take a long time to break in. I have the choppers.
