What do you look for in a good lacrosse shaft?

Answer 1

Depends on if you are attack, middie, or defense. For attack, ideally, you want something very light to easily shoot and pass with. Look for a titanium/ hybrid alloy shaft. For middie, you want a balance of strength and weight, strong, kinda heavy to through checks, but light enough to shoot and cradle with. Look for a hybrid/ composite material shaft. For defense, you want something really strong to hold up to checks. Weight for defense is up to the player; heavy to check better, or light to pass and cradle better with. Look for a hybrid/ steel/ aluminum shaft. But, ask around your team or friends, see what other people have, ask to use their stick, and base your judgement on how the stick feels for you.
