I have been playing lax for a year and always play midfield, problem is, I am a huge magnet for checks and I also give my fair share. So I have to buy a new shaft every now and then. Any ideas on what would be best for me? Weight really isnt that big of an issue, but I need help with brand, style, anything to help me the noob.

Anyone who's been around is gonna know what I'll suggest...

STX Zirconium. Light, strong, PERFECT grip.

You can checkout some box shafts. They are built for strength. They will be on the heavy side and you will need to trim them down as they do come in 32". A wood shaft may also be something you can consider. I am pretty sure they are field legal as well. But they can break and I have seen one break on a cross-check during my box game.

thw sc21 is a tank as is the warrior dolomite. Titanium shafts arent really worth it, scandiums are just as good and cheap too.
the zirconium is a very underrated and cheap shaft too

and on shafts what do u thinks better smooth-ness or grip

maxlax5

Well I prefer grip, but you should really go to a store and try out the shafts see which one feels best. If you plan on not having to buy another shaft ever after your next then just get a freaking Warrior Levitation cause thing will last like forever. Heres a list of the shafts alot of people I know have and like.

STX SC+TI (Probably one of the best out there)
Warrior Dolomite
Brine Swizzzbeat or Swizzle
Most Scandium Shafts (preferably Brine)
Warrior Diamond
STX Zirconium is okay to

dolomite's a beast.

strong and light

light like a krypto pro and strong like the titan pro.

it' only 129.99 on lacrossemonkey.com

I have the stx scandium shaft and it hasn't gotten anything close to a dent, but then again, i used it for the first time the second half of the season. Still i like the strength to weight ratio of the scandium. if you want one that is stronger and lighter go ahead and get the sci+ti by stx even though it is a little pricey (the scandium is too, but i got mine on sale ).
