STX Stallion U Complete Lacrosse Stick

The STX Stallion U is the standard recommendation for players moving into serious play from beginner equipment — it bridges the gap between toy complete sticks and performance separate purchases. The Stallion U head has adequate offset, reasonable sidewall stiffness for a mid-range head, and comes strung with a mesh that's playable out of the box. The aluminum handle is serviceable for most players at this level, though serious players will eventually swap to a composite shaft. This is the right complete stick for a high school player or adult beginner who wants to improve without immediately needing to buy components separately. The price is honest for what you get.
