I have the catalog. If anyone wants anymore pics just ask.

[THALAX]

Looks like STX is making their heads '09 legal.

[laxman 9990]

is it me or is all of that gear exactly the same as last years?

[RIT37FO]

ooh colorr sci ti
purty

[tkdlaxer]

Well the g22 gloves look like the might be cool...what I can see of them anyways..

[WSlax9]

laxmiddie-my best props goes to you. thanks soo much for the pics!

[MainLax28]

Yeah, that head definately looks 09 legal.

All of the other stuff is cool, but nothing has changed too much from last year, and the g-force line.

[ADKlax24]

Those shoulder pads look interesting. Could you take a couple better pics?

[MaKiMaKi13]

mmm xcalibur maybe now X2 prices will drop to the 40$ there really worth

[Dewdrop]

No Scandium Crankshaft?

[hvlacrosse311]

umm that g22 head doesnt look like it will last for half a season.

[ESPN]

laxmiddie--does the excalibur have an independent ballstop like the p2 its hard to tell in the pic. thanks

[CharI3Y]

the only thing that im interested in is the zirc 7 with the ridge handle

[laxmiddie11]

No Scandium Crankshaft?
Nope no scandium crankshaft.

[laxmiddie11]

how you get the mag i emailed stx and they said it would be out in a month or 2
I e-mailed them and they said they would send it as soon as possible.

[laxmiddie11]

The G22 head is supposed to be the lightest on the market weighing in at 115 grams.
Here are some better pics.

Overall: new colored shafts are pretty sweet. Not liking the pinch of the G22 and Xcaliber. The new High Def Polymers on the new G22 line is promising. It's supposed to be ultra light weight, be more shock abosorbent, mold to your body, and not absorb any moisture. Also the palms seem to be all mesh with lines up rubber mesh so they should have a great feel. The new shoulder pads remind me a lot of the choppers it seems like they could be good or pad. Also the entire G22 line is coming with the new High def polymers.

[laxmiddie11]

laxmiddie--does the excalibur have an independent ballstop like the p2 its hard to tell in the pic. thanks
Its hard to explain, it sort of does but not nearly as drastic, I'll try and draw a picture in paint.

[bushleague24]

wow....stx really got creative with their new heads....

[Brandon303]

The Zirconium 7 looks sick, too bad they used such a weak (in comparision to Ti) alloy. They should have made a Scandium or Titanium version of the 7, which would make it a big seller (and would become a rival to the SC21 Air).

The new Xcal is sick and I think will be the best seller of heads this year (like the Clutch was last year).

All in all, pretty stellar line-up.

[laxmiddie11]

ESPN- Imagine were the black is being part of the head and the shaft goes all the way up to there. If that makes sence.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p56/laxmiddie11/xcaliber.jpg
eastonlax-it says
The X2 is back.
-Updated design combines the best of the X2 with today's advanced features.
-STX's classic trestle sidewall provides extra stiffness and stringth for solid checks and defensive play.
-STX Forward Cant for quicker passing and shooting.
-Aerodynamic, detached sidewall and stop design takes out excess weight and reduces ball rattle.

[Crimdad]

Does anyone else think that the G22 could have been alot more creative in terms of sidewall look? I know they are only so many sidewall desgin options, but it looks alot like the excalibur series.

The goalie option for k18 and I-pro is a good step in the right direction for glove sales.

like brandon said its a pretty stellar line up, cant wait to see the real deal.

[MaKiMaKi13]

i suppose you could say the xcaliburs throat is like the new AV8?

[darthblabla]

The G22 SP looks good. I hope it's not as dissapointing as the K18 SP.

[laxmiddie11]

i suppose you could say the xcaliburs throat is like the new AV8?
Yea I would say so, but the independent ball stop doesn't go as high.

[thepalehorse]

does anybody know if the new x2 is going to be as stiff as the original? i hope, i was let down by the x3.

[Tman188]

anyone else not impressed at all with the g22 head?

[NesllMiddie24]

what does it say about the "crankshaft shift 7075"??

[mhl06]

Laxmiddie11..Do u have better pics of the arm pads and the gloves...there not so clear above??

[Laxgoalie4282]

anyone else not impressed at all with the g22 head?

im not impressed, it looks enough like one of the x series that it doesnt seem to innovative.

[THALAX]

Weighing in at 4oz. We will have to see if the G22 head will break like no other or not. If it is atleast slightly durable, it will probably become a success just because of its lightness.

it looks like an x3 on crack.....alotta crack

[Lacrosse4life31]

wow thats sweet.
i'm just wondering, if maybe you could retake some of the pics of gloves and shoulder pads, they are blurry.

thanks, but nice find!

[WIlax]

I solute you sir....The G22s look like Ipros...I cant wait for the Xcaliber...and im gonna have to get some G22 arm pads..

[manup5183]

I saw gary gait using a g22 with a shift at a recent camp, it looks like a really sick stick

[RunnerBoyLance]

the g22 head does look cool, i can't tell much about the g22 gloves, but from what i can, they look like g forces.

[laxmiddie11]

what does it say about the "crankshaft shift 7075"??
The top is the tear drop shape and the bottom is a concave octagonal shape.

[mhl06]

Do you have better pics of the arm pads??? Do you think there just like the k18's

[mhl06]

What is the high def polymer?? a new material??

[ptlax24]

g22 pads and gloves look sweet and I hope they are comfortable but the g22 head looks like crap is there any pinch on that thing I bet it will break with two poke checks

[atxlax07]

I solute you sir....The G22s look like Ipros...I cant wait for the Xcaliber...and im gonna have to get some G22 arm pads..

Honestly i thought that the G22 gloves looked more like the K18's than the Ipro's.

[golden noug]

The G22 head looks like a brokea** sniper and the shoulder pads look like bomb squad gear

[kevo]

WOW! I've always wondered why there were no solid colored Ti shafts...hmmm, good for stx to be the first. I also like the looks of the Gold Scandium.(I love gold shafts). Xcaliber looks good on the surface, wonder how it'll perform...

[LaxDman62]

The g22 head looks kinda brittle since there is little plastic.

Out of the stuff I would get the xcalibur, g22 gloves, and one of those sexy colored shafts.

[MACDADDY]

no offense but pics with a camera arent that great unless you have awsome picture taking skills...

i just emailed STX about a catalouge (like they told me to do a few weeks ago) and when i get it, i will get clear pictures up for the people who did not ask for a catalouge.
now i gotta get brines, gaits, and warriors.

[spartanlax91]

anybody else impressed with the new gear? i certainly am

[PDLAX1337]

the only thing that im interested in is the zirc 7 with the ridge handle

I tried it out at a jamboree. It was pretty light and the ridges (which take up less than half of the shaft if i remember correctly) add some nice grip to it. STX has drill holes on both ends so you can mount a head on whichever side of the shaft you like better.

[QBYattackmen15]

im deff gonna buy me a Sc+ti with those ill new colors! im psyched. and the G22 gloves look very similar to g-forces but i still think they look really cool. plus most of the new G22 pads resemble the K-18 line. are they going to be cheaper then K-18...kinda so kids can wear pads like the k18 line?

[mhl06]

If the G22 arm pads are just like the k18's then i'm just going to buy the k18's

[aviator]

nice man. not really liking the new heads, but time will tell, shafts look really nice thoug. Glad EVERYTHING isn't a crank, sc tis and vandiums and zircos look pretty legit. Thanks for the pics.

[Sik Laxer]

wait is the excalibur going to be on a cs?

[Jephman]

wait is the excalibur going to be on a cs?

It doesn't look it from the pics he provided.

Xcaliber=Straight shaft
X3=Crankshaft

That is what I am thinking...

[Sik Laxer]

oh my bad...i was looking at the g22 head

[laxngoalie]

any goalie news/pics u could take?

[rockstar13]

what colors are the g22 gloves coming out in

[laxmiddie11]

any goalie news/pics u could take?
I took goalie pics? The only things that are new are the K18 and I-pro, they are coming out with a new shinguard, but its nothing special.

[ALEX WIZ]

Now that I've seen more pictures I'm not as excited to buy them.:[

[laxmiddie11]

what colors are the g22 gloves coming out in
Black, Red, Royal, and Navy.

[laxmiddie11]

IMPORTANT


The new G22 head has sidewall holes like the Primer.

[laxattack09]

^^^ that sucks

[Hooligan]

G22 gloves
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p56/laxmiddie11/DSCN0699.jpg
Laxmiddie, I can't see clearly from your pix, but are the palms of these gloves mesh? I have an old pair of Ignitor gloves from STX that I just love, but need replacing (could never get used to the feel of leather palms and fingers). I was just wondering if you could give me that info, since you're the one with the magazine. Thanks.

[nhlax02]

is g22 suppossed to be someone's signature line of equipment?

[Hooligan]

is g22 suppossed to be someone's signature line of equipment?
My guess would be Gary Gait, since he wore #22 throughout his career. Much like the K-18 gear relates to Kyle Harrison.

[FamousAmos]

who else thinks the g22 arm guards look like gait chaos's?

[mhl06]

Here's some bettere pics of some of the G22 stuff...I'll post pics of the details of the new gloves..

[laxmiddie11]

those pics aren't any better than mine.^^

[mhl06]

Well the arm pads..kept on coming in burry...but i figured i give it a try!!!

[laxhero123]

howd u get stx to send u a catalog do u just send them an email wit ur address

[drift2onr]

those pics are better than yours laxmiddie lol

[CSlax06]

Alright, someone send me a mag so I can take better pics, please? :)

[mhl06]

I just emailed STX and then they wrote me back..and i had to call a retailer in my region to send me one..and it only took a few days

[laxhero123]

cool thanks

[lax@wwu21]

I think the new XCalibur will disappoint many people. The reason it was so popular was for defense, but now it has been lightened up for middies? Defense won't want something brittle and middies don't really use X2s as it is, let alone the new one...

Cool Sc+Ti's. I have one right now and love it, now in colors!?!?!?! NO WAY!

[FPTraiderlax02]

their isnt much difference with the x2 and the new xcailibur.

ONCE AGAIN THE LIGHTENED UP VERSION OF THE X2 IS THE G22. PLEASE READ

[laxhero123]

i think stx needs to come out with some new shafts like a lighter titanium stick no one buys there titanium cuz its too heavy

[lax@wwu21]

their isnt much difference with the x2 and the new xcailibur.

ONCE AGAIN THE LIGHTENED UP VERSION OF THE X2 IS THE G22. PLEASE READ

"There" is a lot of difference.

The G22 is on a Crankshaft...X2 is not.

The G22, while it looks similar, is not the same as an X2 "but just lightened up".

The Excalibur will be more like the original Excalibur than the X2, hence, Excalibur.

Less offset and lighter (supposedly).

[washjeff]

every goalie will be rockin those k18s, they are sick.

thats exactily what i said buddy...

ohh wait my bad i didnt say the part of the crankshaft which anyone can obviously see( scarcazim< sorry if my grammar/spelling wasn't right)

[laxchance9871]

at the championships in baltimore there was a place called laxfest, and play-it again sports was selling colored stx scandium shafts before the came out. you could tell they were proto-types though, because he said that they were straight from the STX wearhouse with no labels. they still had the same feel as the scandium, so i know they weren't lying

[heyitsscott]

what is the difference for the crankshaft shift?

[JLLOMMER]

Is there a noticible difference in weight and durability of the 7050 compared to 7075...

[taco5]

are you sure it's the lightest? how light is the torque?

[ccslax6]

Does anyone think that the xcalibur won't live up to the expectations? Like was anyone disapointed by the X3 when it came out? Has anyone felt how stiff it actually is?

[lax@wwu21]

Does anyone think that the xcalibur won't live up to the expectations? Like was anyone disapointed by the X3 when it came out? Has anyone felt how stiff it actually is?

That is what I had posted. I feel that because lots of people grew up with the X2, one of the best D Heads available, the slim and trim lightweight Xcalibur and G22 will disappoint most to say the least.

People who say the X2 will be cheaper probably will have to eat their hat because stiff and lightweight do not go together. The lighter the head, the less plastic. The less plastic, the less stiff it is. The less stiff a head is, the easier it breaks.

As for the X2, they will probably hold their value as they become harder and harder to find. I have a brand new one and someday I might sell it. :guns:

[COLORADO_LAX]

ohh kyle harrison was using the cs shift at the run n gun camp i went to.....it looks pretty cool

[mhl06]

Did you get to use it??? What was it like???

[fenwicklax89]

can someone either post (or point me in the direction of) good, quality, focused pictures of the gloves so you can see the details and everything

[rockstar13]

do the heads have forward cant thin

[BurnSomeRope]

Looks like STX is making their heads '09 legal.

that was my first impression
