Our Pro's love the 1" profile, and the GRIP technology, included on this women's lacrosse shaft. The shaft is coated around the bottom which adds stability. This is a 10 degree shaft so it can only be paired with a 10 degree lacrosse head. If you combine this with a custom strung STX Fortress 700 lacrosse head strung with Crux Mesh Pro you will have a elite defender's weapon for sure that will give you just as much ball control as the boys!
