heres info one the talon legend lacrosse shaft with its weight strength and what it is made of
Technical Features:
Shape: Kanuga grip—traditional octagon shape at both ends with a soft-triangle shape in the middle for optimum grip and feel
Material construction: High strain fiberglass with ash wood veneer exterior
Weight: 7.3 ounces (207 g); standard weight range for adult players
Flexibility: Fiberglass core provides flexibility in the shaft and helps to increase shooting speed

In the testing we've conducted, we feel that our Spirit shaft (youth-level shaft) is comparable to light aluminum alloys in impact strength but far superior in durability to denting. Our Legend shaft is comparable to composite shafts on the market in terms of impact strength, but with better durability as the finish does not chip or dent when the shaft is checked.
In general, we recommend as follows:
Spirit—youth player
Legend—aggressive offensive and defensive player who prefers strength over weight
How do the Talon Lacrosse shafts compare to shafts made from other materials?
Aluminum:
Inexpensive
Heavier than aluminum alloys
Very soft; dents easily
Low strength; easily bends or breaks with an aggressive cross check
A temperature sensitive material; the player may require tape for improved grip and warmth in the winter
Good entry level shaft for youth
Aluminum Alloys:
Low to mid price point
More durable than aluminum, but still dents easily
Average strength
Durability and strength go up proportionally with the price
Temperature sensitive
Strength-to-weight ratio makes them a good choice for mid to upper level players
Composite:
Mid to high price point
Light weight and strong; excellent strength-to-weight ratio
Stiff or flexible, depending on the type of composite used
Not affected by temperature changes
Average durability; exterior finish can chip when the stick is checked
Good for players of all levels
Titanium:
High price point
Very hard material; more dent-resistant than aluminum alloy, but still dents
Very strong, although the lighter shafts break more easily than the heavier ones
Stiff; no flex
Temperature sensitive
Good for advanced, aggressive players
Talon Shafts:
Mid to high price point, comparable to composite shafts
Light weight and strong; excellent strength-to-weight ratio
Stiff or flexible, depending on the Talon shaft
Not affected by temperature changes; wood veneer provides a soft, warm and natural feel
High durability and resistance to chipping and dents (the wood veneer cover on Talon shafts does not deteriorate from stick checks vs. other composite shafts where the exterior finish chips off when checked)
Good for players of all levels
I hope this helps any more questions feel free to ask
