I have had the same stick my whole life and my parents can’t afford to get me a new one and I need one for high school and the stick matches my teams colors and I would be very grateful for the stick. Keep up the work you are a very good lacrosse player.
Timing helps when you want to get new gear. Wait for the "new" stuff to come out and buy the olde stuff. But you have to get the "old" stuff before it's gone. Here's what I mean: What's the difference between a Maverick Kinetik 2.0 head and a Kinetik 3.0? $34.04 ($99.99-$64.95). An Epoch Dragonfly Elite II shaft sells for $89.95 and the Dragonfly Elite III is $149.99. ($60.04 difference). I save $94.04 on my stick set-up by buying last year's models. The difference is usually a different font on the logo or different color options. The actual improvements are typically incremental if there are any at all. STX Cell VI gloves are $139.99. Cell V's are $99.95 ($40.04 difference). I use the Cells. The STX Surgeon RZR2 gloves are $179.99, the RZR's are $135.95 ($44.04 savings). These are the "top of the line" from STX. The Cell VI arm guards are $109.99, the V's are $64.95 and the IV's are $54.95. You go with the IV's you save $55.04 (that's basically 1/2 price). For shoulder pad, I just wear the "liner" I don't go with full shoulder pads. The Cell VI is $124.99. The V is $59.99. That's a $70 difference. I don't gat all my pads at the same time, I replace what I need when I need it, but by getting previous year's gear (which is what I do), I would save $303.20 on my entire set-up including my stick. All prices I mention are what is listed on SportStop.com.
The big question is whether or not he likes the armor mesh. It has a reputation of having a great hold and consistent release with the only downside being less forgiving when receiving a catch. It may feel more taught like a tennis racquet. Miles are you going to adopt the Armor meh?
Cheap sticks are fine, but the problem is the pocket. If you've got a kid starting out in lax, get him a cheap stick but have it restrung with some decent (doesn't need to be expensive) mesh. If you have a really young kid, get him a jr. stick. Not a mini-stick but a jr. The heads are the same size as regular sticks, but the shafts are narrower. It's really hard for kids to learn to cradle properly if their hands are too small for their sticks. The jr's really help them learn to cradle if they have small hands. STX and Maverick have made jr's for a long time. No one bought them until String King started making them and selling them for $100. When they were cheap, everyone thought they had to be terrible. Once there was an expensive version, the parents in our youth program are saying, "Young kids NEED this."
I love your content started playing lacrosse last year and I improved my skill and I think if I win the giveaway I will increase my skill even more thank you keep up a the good work
Our best player just graduated and on his was to ualb as piseno is out the door, we have a first year pole and we call him piseno because how physical he is
I really need this stick. I’m in high school but still using my crappy stx one that I got as a kid. My parents can’t afford a new stick that I could use so I really need this one.
My son doesn't have an Instagram so I'm following you, unlimited lacrosse, leaving a comment and subscribed so he can get a new stick for the new season
I would love that stick because my main stick just broke and my back up stick is an old clay mesh one and I cannot throw or catch well with my back up so that would be a great new main stick
