Buying tips
- Short sticks must be 40 to 42 inches total with the head on under high school (NFHS) and college (NCAA) rules, which is why most attack shafts are 30 inches.
- Alloy and metal shafts are usually the more durable and affordable choice; carbon and composite shafts tend to be lighter and cost more.
- Limited-edition (LE) shafts are typically the standard model in a different finish. If you just want the performance, the regular version is often the same price or cheaper.
- Face-off and defense shafts are not included here; see the defense guide for long poles.
