Crux 500 Complete Lacrosse Stick Review

The STX Lacrosse Crux 500 Complete Lacrosse Stick is optimal for offensive-minded women’s players. Women’s midfielders and attackers will love how quickly the ball reaches the sweet spot with 10-degree technology.

The STX Lacrosse Crux 500 Complete Lacrosse Stick has one of the quickest releases in the women’s game. You also don’t have to worry about the ball rattling in your pocket, thanks to STX’s patented Elastomer over the mold. This STX Crux 500 is attached to a carbon fiber lacrosse shaft built for durability at the lightest weight possible.

Crux 500 Complete Lacrosse Stick Quick Facts:

• Higher pocket placement for quick release
• Reduced ball rattle with a more secure pocket
• The Crux 500 comes equipped with STX’s Launch Pocket
• STX minimized the height of the sidewall to create a deeper pocket
• The complete lacrosse stick includes a 10-degree crankshaft.

The lacrosse head is designed for a crankshaft which means you won’t be able to reuse the lacrosse head on a standard women’s lacrosse shaft. If you buy the Crux 500 complete stick, the shaft is only compatible with STX 10 Degree heads.

What if I want a standard Lacrosse Head and Shaft?

STX Lacrosse does make standard-fitting lacrosse heads and shafts for women’s lacrosse players. We suggest starting with a standard fit before settling down on an elite lax stick which might not be the best for you.

StringKing Lacrosse makes the Women’s Complete 2 Pro, which has a standard-fitting lacrosse head and shaft. The complete 2 Pro also comes in four available options Attack, Midfield, Defense, and Goalie.

Gait Lacrosse also makes some outstanding units for women’s lacrosse players, though they are hard to find with limited retailers stocking them due to “production issues.” We hope to see some in our local retailers soon and in the Stringers Lacrosse Shop.
