AboutJonathan Edwards Expertise I'm a former All-American goalie and have played every position at all levels.
I also coached a high school program in Massachusetts for four years where I helped a number of athletes go on to play college ball in all divisions. Currently I spent much of my time between Massachusetts and Calgary, AB Canada where I have had a chance to work with a number of box lacrosse players who have gone on to play field in the US. Currently I run two blogs. www.lacrossegoaltending.blogspot.com for goalies. As well as www.yourbestlacrosse.blogspot.com for field players. I also run the number one lacrosse newsletter for goalies and the number one conditioning newsletter for field players.
Experience I was a high school All-American who was recruited by a number of Division 1 schools. I have also been a coach and ran a high school program for four years. I have coached at summer camps and also run my own website for goalies as well as a lacrosse fitness site.
Publications Too numerous to name here.
Education/Credentials Currently I am the most requested Expert on AllExperts.com in the category of lacrosse. I was an Olympian in the sport of luge. Also attended Stanford University. Former strength and conditioning coach who has helped thousands of athletes world wide improve their game.
Awards and Honors I was an All-American and an All-League player as well as the MVP of the East West Prep School All Star Game.
Question I am 13 lax and have been playing lax for almost my whole life. I have a Brine F 15 powergrip (the older one) and it is bending. So i have been looking for a strong d-pole under $200. I was looking at the Scandium Swizzle Would that be good or what about the vanadium or the gait db803
Answer Chase if you're looking to spend $200 already my recommendation is to save just a little bit extra and buy titanium. You will spend less money over time by going ti than by trying to save just a little and buying something that will bend.
I've had a titanium shaft for twenty years and have played a ton of lacrosse with it. It has one tiny little dent in it and it's seen some rugged play. It's my only recommendation for dpoles. Anything else and you're asking for trouble eventually.
