Know before you buy
The scandium-titanium alloy is chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It allows the shaft to remain incredibly lightweight for fast stick handling while maintaining the durability required to withstand the physical impact of high-level play.
No, this shaft is specifically engineered for attack and midfield positions. At 30 inches, it is designed for short-stick play rather than the length and leverage required for defensive long poles.
The upgraded tactile grip provides a consistent, slightly textured surface that helps maintain control in various weather conditions. It is designed to offer a secure hold without feeling overly sticky or abrasive against your gloves.
The Apollo 2026 features a universal fit, meaning it is compatible with almost any standard lacrosse head on the market. You can easily pair it with your preferred head setup without compatibility concerns.
While a beginner could technically use it, the Apollo 2026 is built for advanced players who need specific performance characteristics like rapid transitions and elite-level responsiveness. Beginners might find more value in a slightly heavier, more forgiving shaft as they develop their fundamental stick skills.
