Best Lacrosse Shafts

Built by lacrosse gear powerhouse East Coast Dyes, the Carbon Pro 3.0 is one of the best shafts on the market. With four different models for players to choose from (Power and Speed for the offensive player, and also a Goalie and Defense shaft), ECD has all their bases covered. The various flexes and kick points on each shaft give players the tools they need to dominate. One downside to the shaft is that the paint can chip easily.

Dragonfly shafts have come a long way since their original release. The newer generations are more durable than the older ones. With the different flex options they offer based on which model you get, you can customize your stick the way you want. They offer different colors, graphics, and grips on their shafts so you can fully express yourself through your stick.

The Carbon Pro lineage is one of the most popular out there, because of the textured grip combined with the durability that is uncommon for a carbon fiber shaft. The 2.0 differentiates from the original Carbon Pro by having a Flex 8 profile which provides a more powerful shot. The complex design has made the Carbon Pro 2.0 a popular shaft at the highest level of Lacrosse.

The A1 has broken onto the scene in the last year or two with the most recent generations. The new 2025 A1 model comes in 3 colors, white with purple accents, gunmetal with blue accents, and black with gold accents. The new grip for this shaft is made to withstand all weather conditions without changing the weight. This shaft is a great choice for players who play year-round while looking for a lighter alloy shaft.

One of Maverik's longest-produced shafts, the Wonderboy, made waves when it first hit the market. Now offered to both offensive and defensive players, this shaft is built on a legacy of durability. The Wonderboy is one of the most used shafts for advanced youth players and high school players for its weight-to-strength ratio. A matte grip on this shaft gives your gloves a break from wear and tear but does not sacrifice stick control.

The 2022 Kryptolyte is made with performance-grade 7000 alloys to provide the shaft with performance durability without adding extra weight. With a control die shape for better stick control and a diamond pro texture grip to add an extra touch, this shaft is offered to both offensive and defensive players.

Offered in short stick and long stick sizes and three different colors, the 2024 Caliber model was built to be even stronger than last year's model and is the strongest shaft that Maverik has ever created. With reinforced scandium-titanium, this shaft is made to throw hard checks and has Maverik's signature shape.

For $130, players get one of Maverik’s top shafts, the Union. Maverik’s goal with the Union was to create a shaft that had the perfect blend of durability and weight. The Union is designed to be thicker in places where the shaft will take more of a beating and thinner in places where it takes less contact to help balance durability and weight. The shape and grip designed for this shaft give players a better feel and grip when shooting and passing.

True offers the Comp 4.0 as a short stick for attackmen and midfielders and a long stick option for defense and LSMs. The shaft has a sandpaper-like finish that lasts for a while but can wear off over time if tapped over. Made with premium carbon fiber composite, this shaft is built to perform both offensively and defensively.
