I am looking for a new shaft and here is what I have narrowed it down to:
-DB803
-STX Scandium
-Euro-Lax Dagger
-Warrior Titan Pro

Now concerning the Euro-lax shaft, does anybody have it or now how light it is? Because I've heard it is good but I don't know the specifics of it.

The euro-lax isn't very strong but it is light and out of that list the Warrior Titan Pro IMO is by far the best though a lot of people are fans of the scandium which is a good stick as well.

blckout im pretty sure you dont have a euro-lax dagger 1.
I have one, and i ogtta say it is very very strong. I dented a titan pro with it. :D Titan pro is kinda weak compaired to other titaniums, by the way. The Dagger has a nice shape to it also.
Its pretty light, almost as like as DB803, but much stronger.

I just got a db803 and its light as hell and still pretty strong, I love it. I wouldn't go with the Scandium, a friend on my team had his split completely in half on a stick check, granted he used it for a long time, but it just snapped like a twig.

ill believe that when i see it. i have never heard of a scandium shaft breaking, and from what i have seen on the field, if one did break it wouldnt just snap.

depends on what you want in a shaft

light but a bit weak=db803

strong but a bit heavy=titan classic (dont get pro)

in between is the dagger

Dagger is still very light :D
Trust me half an ounce doesnt make any difference
if it does, lose a pound in the gym... lol

the db803 is only considered weak when put together with these other sticks. but by your average joe-blo, the db803 is still one heck of a stick.

personnaly i have no preference of the choices. i guess i would go for the db803 for weight and since it has MORE than adequate strength for girls lax, but i still prefer my composite STX afterburner.

okay since both of those are light, I would use either a DB803 or dagger. Theyre both light and depndable.
:D

um, this is february, so i wouldn't trust your blade out in the cold. keep with your cyber, mine's been abused in 40- weather and survived. and go 803, it's a wonderful combo. but the blade is a decent head, just not particularly strong.

The Blade is flimsy but not brittle like the Revolution, Evo, Razer, etc. I've seen people use Blades in under-40 temps numerous times without problems. I have seen evos and revos break under the same conditions, but in my experience the Blade is just pliable, not terribly stiff and likely to break.

um... i live in south florida... (weston #1 team in the state baby!) and today we played a game in 80 degree weather-- so I'm not worried about cold screwing up my head. (and my cyber has cracks into the holes on the bottom of the stick)

Lol i live in Southern Cal... i dont worry about temp either...
I have a Dagger 1 - Razer - Hardmesh combo
Its pretty sweet... I only tossed around with a Blade once, but I think their weight is similar? I dunno.. I like the Dagger 1 a lot though

harrow or db803

Oh yeah I heard Harrow is a really good shaft. Since you play at such a high level (1st in state) then you should consider a Harrow since if it brakes, then you can get a new one.

I reccomend either the db803 or Scandium.

db803 is best value by far

damn light, and decent strength.. and best of all, great price

if you are a hard hitter (maybe you play d) go with f22.. tad heavier, but stronger

titan classic, although it is sorta heavy, its really strong and has great feel

Anyone have a db803 long pole? I ask this because people say they snap easy... dont know if it is true

Get a db803, They're super light and really strong.

803 poles are the most wonderful poles a boy could ever hope to own. they have ultimately the best feel for just plain metal. i love the 803 pole. and no, it doesn't snap easily.
