I'm usually one to hate the gait products but the thrust caught my attention and im just wondering what anyone else thinks of it. I play attack and it looks pretty light and stuff. Also what about the orical is it good???

I saw it as a head in the most recent Great Atlantic magazine. but thanks for the shaft opinion.

Please learn about the products before you post about them because there is a Gait Thrust head endorsed by Matt Ward. It looks absolutely Hideus and Horrible but I just don't really like that type of head. Not to mention the wierd topstring Gait thinks is inccredible.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE LACROSSE STORE AND THEY HAVE THE GAIT THRUST IN!!!!!!!!!! It's not for sale but I know the guy and he was like check this out.... and he pulled it out of the box. I'll tell you about it............

First off plese note it is like the heads for the crankshaft (not the stx crankshaft - gait's own, read on). It is the same thing. It comes with a shaft - It looks and feels like a cheap aluminum shaft but it is a composite shaft (the grip is like the comort grip on Brine shafts)The shaft has the 10 degree bend. First Impression it is relatively light, but I didn't get a chance to compare it to another strung complete stick. The head seems like it will have a TON of lip. This means that it will be easy to pick up groundballs cause you don't have to get as far down but the scoop turns back on itself so much it will take the thickest nylon in existence to minimize it. The top string idea is very cool. It works well it seems but as I said the scoop is wierd. The pinch is not like a proton power -- it is a little less pinched. I will update you when I get a chance to try it out. The question I leave you with: Could you put this on a STX Crankshaft?

it has a 10 degree bend??!!??!! nice....i might get one if it has the bend

it seems like a pretty good deal for a complete strung head

yeah though I am not sure yet as to whether it will be able to fit on an STX crankshaft... I know it has a bend that looks like 10 degree ( at least within a few degrees of 10) but I am not positive that it is exactly 10.

Thanks thats really helpful. Yeah if you could keep up with it that would be great because i live in North Carolina and we only have Great Atlantic but its not a walk-in store anymore so yeah.
