Question QUESTION: My 14 year old son needs to buy a new shaft. He has played lacrosse for 7 seasons and he keeps bending his when he checks. We need a good, strong d-pole. Can you recommend one - no price limit.
ANSWER: Kim go with Titanium. You will spend less money long term on shafts going with titanium. I have a titanium shaft that I have had for fifteen years. There is nothing better, everything else is a compromise.

QUESTION: Thanks for the response. Any particular brand/model better than the others?
Answer Kim sorry, I dont' think I hit the send button when I responded last.
I'm partial to the Warrior brand. The owner of the company is a former All-american at Princeton who designed the first titanium shaft. Great brand. I also have STX as well. They may even come out of the same factory.
