What Stick Should I Build?

Your position determines everything — head stiffness, shaft weight, pocket depth. Here's what to look for and why.

⚔️

Attack

Dodge. Shoot. Score.

Attackmen need a lightweight stick that allows quick stick handling, rapid releases, and precision passing. Narrow heads and low-hold pockets are the name of the game.

What to Look For

Head Stiffness:Medium–Stiff

Better hold, faster release from behind the cage

Shaft Weight:Ultra-Light

Carbon fiber preferred — under 130g for fastest hands

Pocket Depth:Medium–Low

Consistent release, good for quick passes

Shaft Length:Short (30")

Standard attack length for close-range work

Recommended Builds

Midfield

Run. Pass. Do It All.

Midfielders are the Swiss Army knife of lacrosse. Your stick needs to be versatile enough to win ground balls, play defense, and get to the cage on the run.

What to Look For

Head Stiffness:Medium

Versatile enough for both offense and defensive work

Shaft Weight:Medium (130–150g)

Scandium or alloy for durability in traffic

Pocket Depth:Medium

Good ground ball pickup and a reliable hold

Shaft Length:Short (30")

Standard length for both offense and transition

Recommended Builds

🛡️

Defense

Hold the Line.

Defenders need durability above all. Your stick takes a beating — heavy checks, ground balls, and physical play. A wide face and stiff pocket help contain the ball and clear it quickly.

What to Look For

Head Stiffness:Stiff

Withstands heavy checks without warping

Shaft Weight:Heavier Alloy

7075 alloy for maximum durability under physical play

Pocket Depth:Medium–Deep

Secure hold for ground balls and clears

Shaft Length:Long (60")

Extended reach for poke checks and zones

Recommended Builds

🥅

Goalie

The Last Line of Defense.

Goalies use a completely different stick — a much wider head (12") and a deep, wide mesh pocket. The shaft is typically shorter for quick outlet passes after a save.

What to Look For

Head Stiffness:Stiff–Extra Stiff

Large head needs rigidity to maintain shape

Shaft Weight:Light–Medium

Lighter shaft helps with quick outlet passes

Pocket Depth:Deep

Larger sweet spot for catching incoming shots

Shaft Length:Short (30")

Shorter shaft for quick distribution after save
