One of the best beginner lacrosse sticks on the market...priced at an amazing value . So we took a serious offensive minded head and custom strung it with our specialty youth mesh that is designed to provide younger players with easier catching ability. We gave it a mid pocket that also allows the ball to come out easily and straight so younger players can form good habits. Make no mistake, the Centrik is not the type of head you would find down at the local lacrosse or big box store. This head is game-ready for players up through high school . We put this combo on an aluminum blank shaft that we had made specially to provided maximum value to newer players. They are light, no frills shafts that are perfect for advancing youth players stepping up from a starter stick. There are no flashy graphics or wording on the shafts.... just lightweight super strong aluminum. So if you are looking for that second stick upgrade for your youth player that will get them to the next level... and has a serious custom pocket... you just found it here at Lax.com.
