Best Lacrosse Shafts

Our lacrosse shaft reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each shaft based on performance (the ability to enhance skill and gameplay), durability (the ability to withstand physical stress and impact), and weight (how lightweight the shaft is). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect shaft for:
Two-way middies but also suited for some bigger, more aggressive attackmen and offensive middies.

The ECD Carbon Pro 3.0 Lacrosse Shaft is designed for elite players, featuring durable Kevlar construction and a Power Release flex profile for enhanced energy transfer and powerful shots. Its raised texture ensures optimal grip in any condition, making it ideal for demanding situations with a strong blend of strength, responsiveness, and control.

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.

Perfect shaft for:
Players who face constant physical contact and need a shaft that can withstand the rigors of the game.

The Maverik Union Lacrosse Shaft is built for midfield. Made from a durable Scandium-Titanium alloy and featuring Dynamic Wall Taper technology, it offers a perfect balance of strength and lightweight performance. Its tapered design reinforces stress points, ensuring durability while allowing for quick cuts and precise passes on the field.

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.
