10 degree bend

[SJLAX33]

I was thinking about getting the gait anarchy but then I say the gait silencer. I noticed that it had a ten degree bend and was wondering what that was. Does it have any advantages or disadvantages. Whats the best head for a 10 degree stick?

First off, there is no best head for a 10 degree stick, it is all preference. The purpose of the 10 degree bend is to create an offset stick. Warrior has a patent on off-setting lacrosse heads, and every time a company like STX or Brine makes them, they have to pay a fee to Warrior. Instead of creating an offset head, they created an offset shaft to work around the patent.

yua the idea behind the crankshaft 10 degree shaft is if you look at you hand holding a ball it is a 10 degree turn from the arm to bottom of the ball so they have alwayse said its like holding the ball in the palm of your hand just overall better control

i dont think warrior pays brine, brine and warrior are both owned by new balence

they just do that for a cool ad in the magazines
its not actually to model any part of your body

good point stown but there is also a silencer without the 10 degree bend gait decided to make almost every shaft with it this year.

exactly. the Brine edge was the first offset head, so it has the patent.

my brother has had an x3, g22, and a k18 and i personally think that the x3 is the better head cause of its pinch and stiffness, but it can be a pain to string, the g22 is not very strong at all (his broke after like one game) but it is incredibly light and stiff but its brittle and the sidewalls are thin, the k 18 has a good shape to it but it is not very stiff and since im used to stiff heads i dont really like it, but this is only my opinion, u should find someone who uses a crankshaft style shaft and try it out for yourself

ya but brine dident patent it so brine took it anyway they are owned by the same company so now brine doesnt have to pay
