Ok well my friend dskinner tells me the levitation is the strongest shaft ever. Well I know thats terribly wrong from the pictures ive seen of the dentage and i tell him the Stx Ti is the strongest not sayin im right but please tell him thats the levi is NOT the strongest shaft....

Search "levisucktion".
What I told you right there should tell you your answer, but I'll go in depth. The levitation is made out of high grade titanium, but the walls on the shaft are cut so thin, they tend to be weak yet light. If the walls were as thick as say an STX Ti, it would probably be as strong, if not stronger. As it stands, it tends to dent and snap easily from what i've heard, so yes it wouldn't stand a chance next to an Stx Ti.
its not high grade titaniums. its just a different titanium alloy. there is no shaft that is pure titanium due to the fact that pure titanium is weaker than an alloy. pure titanium is also more expensive. they might have a better alloy but like you said, the walls are cut out extra thin so it seems lighter and stronger
I didn't mean it was pure titanium, I meant it was of a higher quality.

Thanks he just told me i was right so its all good. I guess he just needed to be told from 2 people

A little FYI Warrior made the walls on the levitation thin to keep the weight of the shaft low, in doing this they sacrificed strength
No shafts are pure titanium. The point of all the alloys that are used in lacrosse is to take advantage of all the +'s of a certain metal. Look at the f-15 for example... That shaft was a beast and was a Ti Alloy.
I think what ejajsk8er was trying to say was the levitation was made of a higher grade alloy. Which is true.
Search up the user "Gaib" and look through his posts on this topic. He is an engineer and knows quite a good bit about the subject. He is definately on the ball when it comes to metal/alloy knowledge.
