Gloves can improve your game tremendously. Different gloves have different thickness and flexibility. The thicker the glove, the less pain you feel when you get hit. On the other hand, when a glove is thick it is not as flexible. If a glove is flexible, you stick handle better. Gloves range from 80 to 150 dollars.

In lacrosse, your head fits on your shaft. When you are choosing a shaft, you want to pick one that is light-weight and feels good in your hands. You should also choose what you want your shaft made out of. Shafts come in titanium, alloy, wood, and carbon fiber. All of these materials are good, but the carbon fiber shafts snap very easy. If you are going for the lightest shaft, then your choice should be wood. If you like your shafts heavy, buy an alloy shaft. Shafts range from 80 to 150 dollars. |
