STX Shafts

Shafts trade weight against stiffness and grip. Alloy handles are cheap and forgiving but flex under heavy checks; carbon composite runs lighter and stiffer at a real price premium. Length is position-locked by rule — 30" attack/midfield, 60" defensive poles, and short-stick defensive midfield shafts that sit at attack length. Surface texture matters more than most buyers expect, especially in wet weather.
