Shaft for a Torque

[infamous]

Well tonight at practice I snapped my db803 in half. Basically it won't dent much, but it just snaps. It almost looks like someone just sawed it it in half. I'm not too happy with the shaft, since I've only had it about a month. This brings me to the question. Since I have a torque head, and its really light, what shaft would make a good balance? I want something stronger than the db803, much stronger, but not so heavy that the stick is unbalanced. Any help is much appreciated.

Klyte maybe?

[slinkyspine]

A Harrow. Field attack or a box. Maybe even a monster, but I doubt you need that mcuh tankishness

[KentLax06]

Box would be too heavy for a torque. My friend has a torque on an ibeam and it's really well balanced, but I'd check out the attack too.

[scooterstyx]

i just picked up 2 harrow boxs and they really arent that heavy...i would definitely check one out or maybe a kpro or klyte

[EndlesFimbulvet]

First, maybe get another dB803 with the warranty. If you want to keep using it, fine. If you dont, sell it and use the money to help pay for a Scandium or Harrow.

I'm using a harrow field attack right now with my Torque because it's about 30 degrees out here, and the harrow tends not to change temperatures like a metal shaft, plus it's grippy so if my fingertips go numb I still have some grip....otherwise, it's an awful combination. The balance is terrible, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for these weather conditions.

Just try to get a light shaft. It works pretty well with Scandiums, C555 level metals, and possibly a c405 level shaft.

Scandiums have boasted the highest strength to weight ratio in lacrosse shafts for years. They're featherweights that still pack a punch. I would suggest going Scandium (STX Scandium that is...the Brine Scandiums are heavy and are only feature a small percentage of Scandium). Or, www.laxworld.com might still have deBeer c555 shafts for 40 bucks. They might be nice if you're used to debeer.

k pro , i broke my ice so i went to the k pro and its not much different in feel b/c of the weight difference and its stronger

Does anyone have a titanium shaft on a torque? I'm thinkin if I can't trade for a scandium I might get like a ti22.

[laxman 9990]

i use a liquidmetal on my torque,and id have to say it is pretty nice

[dtl42]

klyte or kpro, they're both pretty good shafts

[Monzo]

I'd go KPRO. Pretty well balanced.

[lD lU lK lE 311]

STX Scandium......light yet pretty strong
Klyte....cheap and good

[lacrosse88]

I use a liquidmetal on my torque but last night at our scrimmmage it almost snapped in half, there's this huge dent in it.....it sucks cuz i though the liquidmetal was supposed to be really strong

[lax4life6]

i actulayy use a F15. its perfectly balanced. i do have a pita on it though so that may contribute to the weight. either way it feels great, pretty light and strong as heck

[TKopy1514]

get a wonderboy

[elementsk8r070]

When I used my torque, I put it on a howitzer/diamond. Most of the time it was on my diamond.

dont get a harrow they are as weak as aluminum i got one on sale and went through 3 before i decided that it definetly wasnt a defect. My team was sponcered and at the end of the year in total we went through 67 of them.
get the liquid metal

I used to, but than I switched to my f-15. Much more balanced now than it was with the titanium. It's a good shaft, but it just doesn't match the torque.

Correct me if im wrong, but dont they give their sponsored teams the products that they are testing? Maybe thats why?

[bloodilax977]

Light and strong are the usual descriptions of a Krypto Pro.

[FARMER00]

jesse and pasco. they gave us the C1 at the beginning and because everybody hated the strength of them we got what we wanted. We broke 22 C1's, 20 Ibeams 15 boxes, 1 goalie, 2 attacks. At the end we got howitzers and we broke 7. but then again this is box not field

[elementsk8r070]

Might want to mention that before posting. I doubt infamous is playing box

[wolfie8914]

Im rockin a Criss-Cross and a Torque.........wow sometimes I forget I am actually holding a lacrosse stick.

[SUOrangeSU2]

i use a klyte and i love it. Everyone who tries out my stick tells me how light it is.

[D Bay]

try an f22 if you can find it or an ignite supra if not. Other good shafts are a liquidmetal, a klyte (although not much stronger), a harrow field attack, or STX scandium.

[hankooklax]

Harrows are always good and the new STX shafts are pretty sweet

[stratswerve04]

titanium triax or octagonal all the wat!!!...or one of the new brine scandaniums...those are great

[lacrosse88]

I just got a Swizzle Titanium and I love it.. its pretty lite for a titanium shaft and it feels good with the torque, the grip is also nice

67 most definitley. thats like not even possible unless your team like bangs them against concrete benches everyday. that would involve like 3 breaking every practice probably. and harrow would never give you that many free shafts. sorry but i dont buy it. harrows are great.

I know he is lying. Since our junior team only brok 12 shafts. All field attacks. The guys with the box and howitzers had to try to break theirs at the end on the year for a new on the discount.
