The beginner defensive lacrosse sticks are designed for advancing youth player that are branching out in their position selection and are looking to get their first defensive stick without mom and dad breaking the bank . The good news is that Brine put a good hard mesh pocket in these which is way better than the stuff they are peddling at the local lacrosse or big box store. Awesome value, durable shaft, stiff head. Perfect starter setup.

There are plenty of youth leagues that buy these and pass them down. The pockets are decent, but "factory" strung.. which means China. The plastick is stiff enough to learn, but you don't want your kid using these when they start to play games. Perfect $40 stick till they upgrade.

Here at Lax.com we recommend these types of sticks for beginners that are just trying out or getting into the game. Honestly, after about 6 months, if your player is starting to get into it, you need to upgrade their stick. We have a selection of COMPLETE STICKS that LAX.com has custom upgraded and strung to help new players develop and learn to catch and throw at a more advanced level. It is really all about getting the proper pocket and the proper head shape. Keeping your youth player on the field with a starter stick after a few months really puts them at a disadvantage. For an extra few dollars, why not get them the lightweight technology and pocket design which will help them grow into their game.
