Men's Lacrosse Shafts

Each position uses a different shaft length and style:

- Attack/Midfield: Standard 30-inch shafts, designed for agility and quick handling.
- Defense/LSM: 60-inch shafts for maximum reach and checking power.
- Goalies: Typically 40-inch shafts, blending quick hands with clearing ability.
- Faceoff: Shorter, durable shafts with extra grip and flex to handle repeated contact.

Composite shafts (like the ECD Carbon Pro 3.0 or StringKing Composite 2 Pro) offer more flex, control, and weather resistance.

- Metal shafts (like StringKing Metal 3 Pro) are often lighter and stiffer, providing a crisp feel for quick shots and passes.
- Your choice depends on personal preference and play style - composite shafts are more forgiving, while metal offers raw responsiveness.

Yes! Flex refers to how much the shaft bends during shooting:

- More flex = more whip and added shot speed (great for offensive players).
- Less flex (stiffer shafts) = better control and precision (ideal for defenders or faceoff guys).

ECD offers shafts with labeled flex ratings (e.g. Carbon 3.0 Flex 5) to help you choose based on your shooting style.

- The A Series is great for newer or budget-conscious players—durable, no-frills alloy performance.
- The Composite Pro line is elite-level, featuring advanced materials and better flex/stiffness options. It’s perfect for serious players who want premium feel and performance.

Most shafts come with a standard butt end, but we also carry replacement options like:

- Jimalax Butt End Cap
- Rocket Mesh TapeSaver Cap
These can improve grip, protect your hands, or replace worn parts.

In most cases, yes. Modern lacrosse heads and shafts are universally compatible using a screw-in throat. Just make sure:

- You’re using the correct length for your position.
- The shaft is labeled for men’s field lacrosse (vs. box or youth).
