this is especially for you midiline i emailed chad at harrow about the harrow i-beams and heres what he had to say


Bernstein, sounds like you were unlucky, we have consistently made improvements to all of our shafts including the I-Beam, and have not had breakage problems along the way. Thank you for your input, we will take it into account on future shafts.

I was thinking about the harrow i- beam a lacrosse forum says how they break quite often. I have one and it broked 10 months after I had it on the thinner part. Maybe it would be smart to make the inside thicker where it gets thinner. Let me know what you think.

hmmmmmmm.....I still tihnk the i beam is really weak and he was just abacking himself up there but, hey ya never know.

well, I dunno. I still think they are just plain weak and people buy them so Wittman and Harrow don't want to bother doing anything about it. But I think your idea of making the inside of the smaller part thicker.

10 months is pretty good life for a I-beam. My Field Attack lasted two years. But its weird how after all the breaks that people claimed that happened Chad would say that they barely got any returns. Chad and Harrow might want to keep the shaft from having really bad rep or people might be lieing about seeing as many I-beams break as they claim.

i think ppl just claim they break so easily as one of are starting attackemn has had an i beam for 4 years and it hasnt snaped and hes been starting attackmen for those 4 years

I also think that some people intentionally play Harrows extra hard, knowing most times they can get a new one on warranty. They just don't take care of the shafts like others.
