I saw a kid at the Championship game Monday. It didnt look too bad.. Its not as pinched at the scoop as the pictures show. I want to try it out.

The arrow does not look as horrible as in the pictures. I still think it looks a little strange, but whatever floats your boat

The Arrow is apparently the lightest stick available. Looking through my GA, it is listed as 4.o ounces. The lightest I had seen prior to that is 4.8 ounces (Vapor, Cyber, and Vector). It looks very weird, though,

WRONG, the lightest prior was the torque at 4.5 ounces
4.0......holy shizzzz, maybe its worth taking a look at?

i won one from kevin (boland) at camp and its pretty nice...really ugly but nice...put a power v and its got a littel whip but nice shot speed...and sick accuracy i also talked to boland for a little and he was like all of you he was down on it before it came out but once he tried he liked it...i would still recommend a duece tho and a littel trick kevin told me on the duece...take the little rubber sides off... makes it lighter and all white for u all white people out there....hope this helped some of you and if u have questions u can email me at dacollins45@yahoo.com

^im sure you aren't, don't you have to go pick up your hood at the drycleaners?^
anyways, i saw the new brine stick, at least of em, the Pulse...its a piece of garbage, its got the bottom half of the side wall separate from the side of the stick, and its got a band around it and it wrapsaround the bottom of the head...its supposed to give you a better eel of the ball or something...just another gimmick

Its inventive and new, lets see you come up with something better? Fool, cause you obviously can't, and I know you havent used one. Of course, looks are all that matter to palys who suck right? So, I guess its ok for you.

its actually a decent stick. my friend just got one at a tourny. its not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. its not the greatest head but its deffinately not the worst. plus its by far the lightest head on the market.

I think it's awesome, not from a looks standpoint, but performance-wise it's REALLY a good head.

i guess that lacrosse is at a point where heads cant be made without a little originality. alot of heads are the same, its all about weight and pincheness (or w/e). if you think of any head, itll probably b the same as a head on the market now, other than sidewall design, unless its wildly original. so dont make fun of these strange yet pathetic atempts to revolutionize lax.

i saw some of the new STX stixs coming out either in the fall or winter, and they are pretty nice. one looks similar to the razer and one looks similar to the proton....and theres no goofy rubber, moving sidewall, or anythin of the crap

Offically, the STX Arrow ownz all. I was playing with one the other day cause I saw it in the shop, and I was like what the hell, why not? Its wierd to play with because it doesn't look like a normal head that im used to, but i must say the release is super quick, probably topping charts. I'll review it later

^ well thanks for that contributive post^
Anyways I actually don't think it looks that bad, I would definitely try it out given the chance. Why is everyone being such a girl about how their stick has to look good? I would love to show up to the field with that thing over my shoulder, I would much rather see different things like new head designs instead of " OH LOOK, WE COVERED UP THE SIDEWALL, NOW YOU CAN ONLY TELL WHO HAS THE BALL BY ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION, COME BUY OUR GEAR!" When I heard that Brine put that on the Swerve I couldn't help but laugh, I mean seriously, when was the last time any decent player lost track of the ball in the middle of the game? I say good job STX, they went out on a branch and are experimenting, this is how the sport progresses, even if the early designs fail, it will open up new areas for improvement to the game, so stop making fun of these heads and start getting out there and trying them.
