Dan Loftus's Stick

[aisixers376]

hi i was wondering what don loftus's stick and stringjob was in the hopkins v. duke finals
thanks

[hcDevils391]

eclipse with a 12d bag

[AnotherLaxFan]

This is just off the top of my mind from what I remember. I THINK it was Loftus', I believe he had an eclipse with open sidewalls and 17 diamonds, 1 nylon, immediately followed by 3 straight rolled shooters, spaces in between. Off the top of my head.

edit// looking at pictures at lax.com have led me to believe that there is no nylon, however.

where did he get that guard on his thumb

[Solstice]

We're having WAY too many "What stick does _________ use?"

Using the sticks and string jobs pro's use wont make any of us as good as them. And if it's just for knowledge-building purposes, then know to search lax.com's photo archives.

where did he get that guard on his thumbGoalie gloves have extra thumb protection. That's what makes them different from normal field gloves.

[hcDevils391]

Goalie gloves have extra thumb protection. That's what makes them different from normal field gloves.
i know that but his king goalies have an extra black cover on them more than the regular king goalies

lol and strangely, the goalie on our team says he never gets hit on his thumb.

where did he get that guard on his thumb

i dont know if this is the case but i know some collage goalies and stuff have custom thumb gaurds "aron fenton in particular" has a custom molding over his thumb

[hcDevils391]

fenton had the same covering so it must be from brine

[laxgoalieWE4949]

errrrrr
that's a doc pocket, buddy

[EHSLAX12]

its also definetely not a factory job. factory jobs break in so poorly. its just s nice and well rounded 17d open sidewall pocket, nothing wrong with that.

Really? His pocket looks just like it too! wonder how that happened.(9)

[G10TSM]

any one that can count and point there mouse at little tiny holes can see that it's 14 d. but who cares, it's all about knowing how to break it in.

[laxgoalieWE4949]

I WAS CLEARLY THE WINNER! i count every goalies mesh cause im wierd like that

[Lacrosse4life31]

i dont know if this is the case but i know some collage goalies and stuff have custom thumb gaurds "aron fenton in particular" has a custom molding over his thumb

yea they do, i have custom Mac Daddy goalie gloves, not the freaks! they say mac daddy on them! but they are basically the same thing, the thumb is the same thing as the superfreak, and YES i DO get hit in the thumb!

[laxlegend08]

does anyone know what kind of shaft jesse schwartzman had during the championship game?

[laxgoalieking]

he used an stx core

[EastCoastSurf]

Definitely 14d

http://www.lax.com/bimages/1861/161

interesting, coulda sworn it was 17. i stand corrected. that picture doesnt lie

[laxgoalieWE4949]

he used an stx core
Stx Axe C405, i think the core is out of production

[laxgoalieking]

[Solstice]

its definitely an STX Axe.

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Only the Old Schoole ones. The newer gen's have a red/yelow label.

[laxplaya98]

its looks like he used two sticks....to me....the one is a 14D but the other diamonds on the other sticj are much to small to be 14D i think as i stated before that he used two sticks..

[Lax1228]

its definitely an STX Axe.

That first picture is definitely not Dan Loftus, chief.

[MDlaxin69]

i bet if you use the same stick as dan loftus you will be just as good as him! cause its all in the stick right?

[AnotherLaxFan]

I stand corrected as well--I thought I had good memory for a second.

[Laxman3221]

Should of used one that made more saves.

[laxplaya98]

who cares if someone wants to know what kind of mesh someones uses who really cares..........no one said that the stick makes the goalie.....

sry just wanted to voice my words.......

[laxlegend08]

lol yeah. no one ever said they thought that if they had the same stick as dan loftus they would be just as good. maybe they just like it or want to try something different then what they have?

[laxgoalie66]

i heard 17d makes for bigger pockets? i use 12d but im thinkin about tryin 10 or 17d on my back up but idk

[laxgoalie66]

[NorCal_LAX]

some of the pics made it look like 17 but the 14 holes dont lie

[laxplayanumba30]

where did he get that guard on his thumb

it's kevlar molded over the thumb. my friend has that and its rock hard. all the goalies at duke have them molded over their thumbs

[laxgoalie66]

how do you do it? d o you know?

[lax4salem26]

he uses 20D mesh i nan eclipse with a blue ignite supra

[lax4salem26]

he uses 20D mesh in an eclipse with a blue ignite supra

[Solstice]

That first picture is definitely not Dan Loftus, chief.

If you bothered to read the posts before mine, someone asked what shaft Jesse Schwartzman used. So it was an axe..chief.

he uses 20D mesh in an eclipse with a blue ignite supra

This has been discussed numerous times in this thread. Scroll up and read the posts. Loftus uses 14 diamond mesh! Yes its in an Eclipse, and yes its on an Ignite Supra.
