What is the best lacrosse stick for girls?
For a girl starting out, a complete stick with a forgiving pocket like the STX Aline helps her catch and cradle with confidence. Our store managers move middle and high school players to the Gait Apex 2, a full offset stick that works for offense or defense. Advanced players can add a custom pocket for more hold and control.

Watch out for
Gait shooting strings usually come strung very tight from the factory. Adjust the tension to get the amount of whip you want, or have a stringer do it.
