Our top picks for the best women's complete lacrosse sticks for 2020. But, here is the deal with women’s complete lacrosse sticks.PLAYING WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN A TOP END POCKET AFTER YOUR FIRST STARTER STICK PUTS FEMALE PLAYERS AT A SEVERE DISADVANTAGE AND SLOWS DOWN THEIR LEARNING CURVE!
The women’s game is changing rapidly and major advancements in pocket technology have made it easier than ever for advancing youth players to get their game to the next level quickly. If your player wants to advance in the game, she should not be playing with a starter stick, because of the advanced technology that is now available in complete sticks. With the introduction of mesh pockets, younger players can now learn how to catch and shoot quicker and more precise. Also, the introduction of degree technology allows for higher powered shots, more accurate passes, and superior draw control.
Here is our Pro's list of the topwomen's complete lacrosse sticks for 2020:
- Maverik Ascent Complete Stick With Mesh If there ever was a head and shaft combo that bridged the gap between elite and advancing youth- it would be the Ascent. Advanced mesh pocket technology coupled with a bit wider design, and a 22 Degree Release Angle, makes it easier for players to catch and throw. This is a great stick for any player looking to break into the mesh pocket & highest degree technology game
- Epoch Purpose 15 Degree Complete Stick With Ladder Pocket The Epoch Purpose is being seeded with some of the best collegiate and high school players in the nation. The Ladder pocket really whips the ball around nicely while still affording great control. The Purpose carbon lacrosse shaft is available in two diameters, to fit everyone's hands.
- STX Crux 600 The Crux 600 has been around for a couple of years and offers an elite level pocket for high school and collegiate players that want that softer, high pocket feel and the quick release of 10-degree technology. You will see the Crux 600 in the hands of more advanced youth, high school and collegiate players than any other stick because it was the first stick on the market with degree technology.
- Under Armour GloryComplete Stick With Rail Elite Pocket These complete sticks can be seen in the hands of some of the top high school and collegiate offensive players in the nation. The secret to these heads is the offensive shape combined with a special pocket that utilizes cross lace patterns down the shooting channel of the stick. These are thinner and more flexible than any other pocket and the result, like the Crux, is that the pocket sits high in the stick. These Glory’s are a shooters and feeders dream stick. See why Taylor Cunnings, arguably the best women's lacrosse player of all time, chooses the UA Glory lacrosse head to win the draw.
OTHER FAVORITES
- STX Fortress 600 This is a specialty stick developed for easy ground balls and open field running and passing. Used by the collegiate and high school girls, this is a D-middy and defenders dream stick. Wider and more forgiving, but absolutely a ball hog in the right hands. Advanced and elite-level defensive players only please.
- Nike Lunar Elite 2 10-degree technology with a Launch pocket which allows girls to cradle, handle and shoot much more aggressively. The Lunar Elite 2 is a slimmed-down offensive-minded head suited for middies that play both offensive and defense and need to be on the ground ball game as well. The composite handle on the Lunar Elite 2 is a bit thinner and more angled than the STX shafts. Perfect for advancing players and HS level offensive and defensive players.
