Know before you buy
The 9000 series alloy is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It allows the shaft to remain durable enough for the physical demands of midfield play while keeping the overall weight low for faster stick handling.
The ABE 3 system features seven points of contact that lock the end cap securely onto the shaft. This prevents the common issue of the butt-end sliding or twisting during play, providing a more consistent and stable feel.
The matte finish provides a reliable, non-slip texture that works well for many players in dry conditions. However, if you prefer a highly tacky feel or play in wet weather, you may still want to add a small amount of tape or wax.
While it is designed with the versatility of a midfielder in mind, its balance of weight and durability makes it a solid choice for attackmen who prefer a standard-weight shaft. It is generally not recommended for long-pole defensive positions due to its length and alloy composition.
The anodized coating is primarily used to reduce weight, but it also provides a hardened surface layer that is more resistant to scratches and corrosion than standard paint or powder coatings. It helps the shaft maintain its structural integrity over a longer period of competitive use.
