bent shafts

[laxerattacker]

i have a bent shaft. i have heard of people bending shafts on purpose...what is so good about a bent shaft?

[mustang_lax]

um bent shaft = illegal shaft and you pretty much cant play with a bent shaft

[lacrossefreak]

yes you can... they make offset shaft for special heads... like the phantom comes with a offest triax 6000 but in you case you are probably playing with a illegal shaft

[mustang_lax]

lacrossefreak i wasnt talking about the bent shafts that are made for onset heads like the one stx has. i was referring to like your shaft being bent in the middle...in that case it will be illegal but shafts especially made bent for onset heads are perfectly leagal. sorry if I wasnt clear in my last post

[LatinBabe]

an off-set shaft is good...if you have a head designed for one

for the most part, even if you get away with having a bent shaft in the game there is nothing good about having one.

betn shafts back in the day were so the ball would be up near the shooters like the stx cant which gievs you a super high pocket latinbabe there are no heads designed for an offset shaft besides the phantom

[LatinBabe]

well sorry cloo...dont exactly play guys lax with your fancy canted sticks now do i? i just knew of one and just to cover my rear in case i was wrong i phrased it like i did.

oh well, sorry for my flaming...dont do it too often...just got in a fight today so i seem to be a bit egy...youve noted it twice today cloo...darn you. lol

bent shafts are thought to generate more torque. faster shot. its all hoop-la. offset head and strait shaft is the way go

[mustang_lax]

I saw it on E-lacrosse before that puposely bent shafts were designed to be used with onset heads. bent shafts with an offset head would be illegal

[RockStar]

Don't know about legality, but I thought the Gaits used to bend shafts while at SU.

And how the hell would having an offset head on a bent shaft be more illegal than a straight head on the same shaft?

A Head's a head, if it meets the technical spec in the rules, you can put it on any damn shaft that's legal

[LatinBabe]

think about it, and offset head on an offset shaft. that would make your crosse point straight at the ground, not straight ahead.

yes the head is legal, and the shaft is legal, but together they create like a super cant...this is not. not to mention you can only fit certain straight heads on the shaft neways.

[cloo24]

except one case with the phantom and i have no idea why thats legal

[LatinBabe]

they managed to find some technical loop-hole in the rules. Im not quite sure what it is, but it is the first and most likely the last to do so since offset or canted heads have become standard,
