Lacrosse/Stic length

Question
Corey,
Thanks for answering the rock-it-pocket question I had. I have another
question about stick length. I play u-15 lacrosse in N.C. and I may order a
harrow box shaft with an stx xcalibur for the head. I heard from a friend who
has the same thing that I need to cut it down because it will be 42 and a half
inches long. Is this true, because I don't have a proper saw to cut
composite/graphite?
Hey man. The shortest you can go is 40inches and all you need is a hacksaw. You can get one at Home Depot or borrow one. You just need one that cuts steel. The steel blade will cut steel and composite so you should be ok there.
Hope that helps man. Let me know if you need anything else.
