The long shaft is used in men's Lacrosse, the defenders use the long shaft so that they can have an easy reach to an on coming opposing player. they use the shaft to check the opponent and cause them to drop the ball. The short shaft is used in men's and women's lacrosse, the short shaft is used for all the other positions, much easier to control

∙ 12y agoan experienced player can rotate a short stick to more velocity on a shot. while in the middle school leagues, generally the bigger kids have long poles so they bring the long pole down faster and that's faster than, usually, everyone on the team. So i say varsity level and up= normally short stick. JV and below= normally long stick. it all depends on the player though. and the person who practices shooting the most are the short sticks so they have the faster shot.
