Over the past year or so we have noticed a rising trend in the lacrosse gear world. Composite shafts have been popping up left and right and it seems that almost every major lax company has their own version. The big names in the composite shaft world are companies like East Coast Dyes, EPOCH Lacrosse, and STX. There are some others out there but these three are the ones that I think have been running the show lately.

ECD also likes to release special color ways of their shafts that are extremely limited. volt_split_ All these shafts have a flex component to them so you can get a little more snap on your shots and passes. This past summer during the MLL All Star game a fan named Zach Dorn broke the world record for fastest shot, at 116, using an EPOCH shaft. That’s all the proof I need when asked about the results of these shafts. All of theses composite shafts are available in all Universal Lacrosse retail stores as well as on our site! IT’S ALL U
