Durable d shaft in 70$ range

[Cahillite LAX]

So this is my first year of lax and i am going to play dpole. I was looking around and all i want to spend is around 70. I dont care about weight, i mostly want it to be strong. So which one would prob. be the strogest and will last me the longest of these Warrior Platinum alloy, Gait 7000 alloy Triax, STX zirconium or vanadium. Any other sugestions in this range thank you

[MACDADDY]

zirconium is your best bet, but there are also woodies.

[jtothep213]

If weight is not an issue, definately a woodie would be most durable. IMO, of your list i have seen the Platinum alloy last quite some time. I've seen a Zirconium shaft bend with ease.

Personally, i'd order a woodie.

platinum alloy is legit, my choice for you

Good call. Go for the PA. They are tight for the price. Light and strong.

[tiplax]

Go for the platinium alloy. a kid on my team had had one for 3 years and there is not a single dent.

isnt a mohawk Ti likke $65? probably your best bet and the most durable, but if its got to be one of those the platinum alloy

[shiftylax]

I don't think a mohawk ti dpole is 65 beans...

If you look around you can find a kypto for 65. If not go for an STX alloy in that price range. Don't get the lower end brine Dpoles, they snap like twigs.

[Rise Against]

Go for the Krypto. Its durable and somewhat light for a d-pole.

[nd_lacrosse]

the shamrock zinc alloy. it is THE beast. i love mine ive broken little attackmens sticks, heads, and elbows with mine and all it has on it are little silver marks on the edges where the paint wore off.

[checklax]

Well if weight really isnt an issue at all, you should get a wooden dpole. It'll be the strongest and most durable out of all shafts, and your attackmen will clearly remember every check you give him. It not, get a platinum alloy, I have a shorty platinum alloy and its lasted me for like a year already.

[Cahillite LAX]

so the platinum alloy it is. How do bionic's fit on these. Do the screw holes line up

[s1erra7i2]

I just ordered and am playing with my Bionic, I'm not over enthused, because of how wide it is. I'll probably end up giving it a little pinch, but I think it should be good for a beginner. If the screw holes don't line up, just self tap a hole.

[MaKiMaKi13]

depends in my experience warrior heads are usually lower down the shaft then on STX heads, the bionics is like right at the top if you know what i mean, but you can just ask your parents to drill you a new hole

I would say splurge a little and get a warrior Krypto Alloy they come in a varity of colors and you can find them relitivly cheap.

$94 for one not to bad. But if you search you can find them cheaper

[sidewinder19]

out of your options get the triax 7000,theyre extremely strong (for field use) and are pretty cheap.

[sammyduelist]

Like some others already said, plat alloy. It is beastly, i have it and it doesnt have a single dent or ding and very light as well.

[Cahillite LAX]

i can drill my own whole i was j/w

[LaxDman62]

I would go with a Zirconium, I have one for D pole and I love the grip and the weight. Seems to be pretty strong too. Good D shaft.

[Cahillite LAX]

How would a evo be for a d-head stiff??

[LaxDman62]

I think that the Revo is used more for defense since it is pretty stiff. The evo might be used more for attack.

Oh, if only, I would snap one up in a heart beat. But a Plat is legit, it was my first pole.
