Lacrosse shafts can also have very different textures to them. It will either be coated or have a grip pattern to improve handling. Greater grip makes for less slippage while shooting or going for ground balls. Shafts with little to no grip, however, can make it easier when stick handling. Again this is very much a personal choice for players.

Men's Lacrosse Shafts FAQs

Do all lacrosse heads fit all shafts?

Most of the time they do but there are some exceptions. The only exception is some lacrosse shafts have a foam filling or a plastic cap on the top that will block heads with shaft inserts. Also, the screw holes don’t always line up across brands but most of the time are can be redrilled if the holes don't overlap too badly. There can be times that some brands don't fit, when we spot these our staff call customers to offer advice on the perfect lacrosse head and lacrosse shaft for your position and budget.

What is a good weight for a lacrosse stick shaft?

The weight of a lacrosse shaft is very much personal preference. Opting for a lighter shaft can enhance maneuverability, but it often comes at the expense of durability. Heavier lacrosse shafts might compromise hand speed but tends to be more robust and can hold up better over time. Finding the right balance becomes a matter of individual playing style, playing position and your priorities on the field.

Do carbon fiber lacrosse shafts break easily?

As with all things they are a range of carbon lacrosse handles that brands offer at different prices points tailored from youth lacrosse players to elite level players. Buying a cheap carbon handle geared towards youth lacrosse but using in for men's lacrosse will increase the chance of you breaking it. You are just as likely to break a metal handle playing lacrosse. Remember that as a contact sport equipment can and will break.

How long are lacrosse shafts?

Lacrosse shafts can be anywhere from 30 inches to 60 inches, a 60-inch shaft is for defense and a 30-inch shaft is for offense. It is not uncommon for youth defenders to cut their lacrosse handle down a few inches.
