Lax gear is a rabbit hole — whip, pockets, offsets, pinches, alloy vs. carbon, on and on. You don't need to know all that. Answer a few questions and we'll hand you three sticks that actually fit how you play — one at every price point, budget through premium. Every product is real and currently sold.
Boys', girls', and box lacrosse all use sticks that look similar from far away but are built to different rules. We sort it out for you on question one.
Attack, midfield, defense, FOGO, goalie. Long poles allowed. Body checks legal.
Different head shapes, stricter pocket-depth rules. The ball has to stay visible above the rail.
Hockey-rink lacrosse. Smaller goal, deeper pockets, shorter shafts, harder cross-checks.
Gender, position, level, playstyle. Whip if you have a preference, climate if you don't want a head that cracks in February.
80+ real, currently-sold heads and shafts get ranked against your profile. The best at each price tier wins.
Best Value, Best All-Around, Premium Pick. Each card links to where it's actually sold. No retailer roulette.
PICKING FROM THE BEST
You walk into a lax shop and there are 80 heads on the wall. You read a forum and three people argue about composite vs. alloy for the next 200 posts. You ask a coach and they tell you what they played with 20 years ago.
We built PICKSTIX because picking the right stick should take 90 seconds, not a weekend. Every recommendation is grounded in real specs — whip, flex, pocket shape, EnduraForm plastic, Warp tech — matched to how you actually play. Hover or tap any of those underlined words and we'll define them for you. No gatekeeping.
