Overview
The STX Sc-Ti has been the gold standard for attack shafts in lacrosse for years. The proprietary scandium-titanium alloy is stronger than scandium and lighter than titanium — giving you the best of both worlds in one shaft. Walk into any college locker room and you will see Sc-Ti shafts everywhere. That kind of market dominance happens because the product genuinely delivers.
The Sc-Ti alloy construction makes this shaft virtually indestructible under normal play conditions while keeping weight low enough that attack players maintain full stick speed on every shot and pass.
Sc-Ti Alloy — What Makes It Special
The scandium-titanium alloy STX developed for this shaft is genuinely unique in the lacrosse market. It delivers a strength-to-weight ratio that no competing material can match — lighter than a pure titanium shaft would be, stronger than a pure scandium shaft would be. The result is a shaft that resists denting and bending under the most aggressive checking while staying light enough that attackers maintain full stick speed on shots and passes.
Zero Flex Shooting
The Sc-Ti is a zero flex shaft — meaning it does not bend during shooting. For attackers who prioritize shot consistency, this is a major advantage. Flex in a shaft introduces variability in your release point — different amounts of flex on different shots means different release timing. Zero flex eliminates that variability entirely. Every shot releases at exactly the same point making your shooting more predictable and accurate over time.
Max Sandblast Grip
The maximum sandblast treatment on the Sc-Ti provides a gritty non-slip surface that performs consistently in all weather conditions. In wet games where grip becomes a real issue, the Sc-Ti maintains the same feel and control as in dry conditions. The Elite End Cap is a clean lightweight alternative to tape that keeps the end of the shaft protected without adding unnecessary weight.
