Man u guys are the best, thanks for bringing great content to the lacrosse community, I’m saving up for your carbon 2.0 carbon power shaft!

[@ECD]

Sounds like a great plan! Let us know if we can help

[@solsteals9734]

Just picked up the carbon pro 2 and so far been lovin it!

You guys should start making pads 👀 I would for sure rock some ECD gloves

[@henrybehr]

Not a huge goal of ours as the market has really solid offerings, if we can find a new way to innovate the protective aspect of the game we will be there!

I just wanna let you guys know that I have a Nike Lakota 2 head that I tried putting on a carbon 2.0 d pole and it had substantial head wobble. Good video keep up the excellent work

[@ECD]

Thanks for sharing! If you tape under the head or even use a scrap shooting string under the head you can eliminate the wobble

[@harrisonv7215]

Very creative!!

[@ECD]

Thank you! 😊

[@philipg7756]

You guys need to make goalie 3.0. Liked your mesh but had to switch to throne because it’s just more consistent with passing but would love to try out 3.0 for goalies

[@turtle_6067]

I’m actually thinking about the mtx, how do you use 3 screws for the weapon x? And what screws do you use in them?

[@ECD]

We use the a self tapping stainless steel number 8 screw

[@rh3tt326]

Hey Greg, I got the MTX awhile ago and I had a problem removing the insert from the shaft in order for my heads to fit on? What do you suggest

[@ECD]

You can use a blow dryer or heat gun to loosen the glue holding that in place, then you can remove it with a pair of needle nose pliers

[@stevenhanlon]

My dragonfly just snapped so I need a new shaft and I remember this video.

[@ECD]

OH no! let us know if you have any other questions

[@brysonacosta1147]

I just broke my 2.0 sad but proud of myself from how durable I heard it was

[@mightyduckchuck]

Any possibility of a faceoff specific shaft with the weapon X in the near future

[@ECD]

There really is a real advantage to a faceoff specific shaft.

[@owencurrier6375]

for a goalie who likes a short shaft would you say get an attack shaft or cut the goalie one?

[@ECD]

You can do either but it might be easiest to just buy a 30"

[@ryancolombo6478]

what is weight of the Pro Power Shaft? Is the speed or power recommended for a goalie?

[@sloanetracy1935]

What ever happened to the focus line? Did the bravo 1 replace it?

[@ECD]

We just really believe the future is in carbon fiber shafts. The bravo 1 did not replace it as was designed for a totally different player in mind

[@owenmarshall2713]

if i wanted to make the best d pole set up for close d what would you recommend?

[@willkelly6695]

As a crease/x attack-man what would you recommend?

[@ECD]

Either the Carbon Pro 2.0 Speed or Ltx, age could also play a big factor

[@bigmakgolarge]

Hi Greg, you emphasize that MTX is stronger than LTX, but how is it stronger? Thicker shaft? Denser weave? Can you provide any data for comparison?

[@ECD]

It is slightly heavier as well in simple terms there is more textreme material.

[@frbyrd-tg5co]

Old School laxbro here - where are the wooden shafts? I've had many a player tell me after a crosscheck that wood is a better deterrent to driving to goal than some whippy alloy/carbon pole - they'd rather get hit on the wrist by an alloy than a tree trunk. I've played with Broken Arrow on long pole D and LSM @ 54" and attack and broken several opponent metal shafts and heads too. Do you have an ash, hickory or maple line as well?

[@ECD]

Wood shafts are no joke, however they do come with a lot of weight behind them which players are really not into these days.

[@frbyrd-tg5co]

@@ECD When you're 55 and still actively playing Box (granted, with a crew of guys who all have to work the next day) my shot isn't getting noticeably quicker by a few grams, but my cross checks and defense are substantially more powerful with the extra weight - especially when the opponent isn't expecting the blunt force trauma of wood. No doubt, if I was coming to the game today, it'd be an entirely different story. I picked it up in D3 college, and have played adult leagues ever since (Baggataway, ONELL), and I still prefer my Brine Shotgun on a tree trunk. Keep on truckin'!

Should not hold back shooting at all

[@jcdixon01]

So, if you are a goalie but like a short shaft...where should the kick point be?

[@ECD]

Comes down to preference but higher would be better.

[@brandonwitte7339]

So is the mid kick going to be like a low kick and high kick?

[@ECD]

There is no mid kick point, the Carbon 2.0 would be a natural flex throughout the entire shaft.

The two products together are playable but the alloys will be the better shaft as they don't have as much flex when you are trying to win the ball.
