torque/shaft help

[nylax90]

hey guys, I'm new to the lacrosse forums and i need some help. I'm getting a torque soon and need a shaft for it. i was thinking about a db c-555 but i dont know much about it. if someone could please tell me some of the pros and cons of this shaft i would appreciate it and i am open to suggestions on different shafts too.Also i'd like to hear from someone who has this combo how this shaft would balance out the wieght. where is the cheapest for a torque including shipping? lacrosse digest?
Thanks for the help guys! :thumbsup:

The shaft would probably make it shaft-heavy. I personally cannot STAND shaft-heavy sticks.

Besides that, i really don't know much about it. Never even seen one.

DB803 is going to be the most reccommended shaft. I have 2 sticks with a Torque/DB803 setup and I couldn't be happier.

[nylax90]

i considered the db803 but after hearing about them denting i looked at the c-555 because the texlax comparison chart said they wieght the same

[chslax538]

I have a db C-555 and its awsome. Its super light and feels great in your hands. I havent played much with it so i cant say much on durability but so far it doesnt even have a dent. It would bee a good choice, but the 803 might be lighter by a little.

[LCNlaxman]

The texlax chart is moot. Don't go by those weights. Totally off.

i have an ignite optra and i like it a lot on it but just me.

go with a klyte cant go wrong there great shafts and most places a long pole is like 20 $ more just get that and cut it in 2. strong light and dependable! mine has 1 small dent from another cut in half klyte.(its a beast)

[nylax90]

is the ignite optra as light as the klyte

[nylax90]

Come on guys!! I need more answers :sad:

The ignite optra, because it is C55, not C405, will tend to be lighter, as well as stronger. Either way, youre getting a light shaft.

[rebellax10]

dude, I also have a torque/803 combo. It's a dream stick. The 803 isnt the strongest shaft but its still well worth it. I really like the shaft and its not too badly priced. If you dont get that then get a kpro.

[fcalaxplaya]

get a db803 they are awesome

[nylax90]

its between the ignite optra and 803. i need something really durable,which one? :thinking:

[ViennaLAX16]

optra is the best bet because the 803 dents like mad

[nylax90]

thanks man. by the way how different(or harder) is it to string a to torque than othe heads.I can string a mad mesh pocket

[LCNlaxman]

Torque is probably one of the easiest heads to string. Count how many sidewall holes it has.

[nylax90]

i'm using a nitrous right now and that has lots of sidewall holes also so it should be no problem

[nylax90]

So whats the cheapest place to get one?

i have a thread on this and am debating this as well...thanx for bringing it up. to mention, i have the ignite optra and love it, hasn't dented yet for me just scratches. i love it but am considering the 803 since i heard it was lighter, and i'm trying to debate if it's stronger.
