The Fatboy Pro Carbon is the first of its kind super stiff carbon shaft designed specifically for box lacrosse. There is a slightly gritty finish on this shaft which actually makes it perfect for short stick defensive middies in regular field play in nasty weather. This carbon give you good shot whip ( although we recommend it for players over 185 LBS that can shoot over 90 MPH. ) This is a big boy beat down stick that will give you outside shot power AND make that kid trying to dodge you down the ally think twice next time when you are chopping at his elbow.
