The STX 6000 is the perfect shaft for any youth player who is just beginning their athletic career in lacrosse. The STX 6000 has is equipped with matte-anodized alloy which gives players lightweight and overall consistent handling. What our pros love most about this shaft is the tonal "Memory Marker" graphics that pinpoint proper hand placement for solid shot and pass execution. This helps younger players learn where their hands need to be at all times which is one of the most difficult parts when you are just picking up the game.
