STX Aria Pro-D Lacrosse Stick

While this stick is engineered specifically for the elite defender, its geometry is versatile enough for transition play. However, if you spend the majority of your time on the offensive end, you might prefer a stick with a narrower face shape for better ball retention while dodging.

The pocket is constructed with specialized materials that resist moisture absorption, meaning it won't get heavy or bag out during wet games. You can expect the pocket to maintain its intended stringing tension and performance characteristics regardless of the weather.

The wider face shape increases your surface area, making it significantly easier to intercept passes and disrupt offensive lanes. It essentially provides a larger 'net' to knock down balls without sacrificing the control needed to clear the ball effectively.

Not at all. The stiffness is designed to withstand the physical contact inherent in elite defensive play without adding unnecessary bulk. It provides the durability you need to check and battle for ground balls while remaining lightweight enough for quick transitions.

Speed Scoop technology is designed to reduce drag when the head makes contact with the turf. This allows you to get under the ball more efficiently, helping you scoop up ground balls in one clean motion rather than fumbling or getting hung up on the field surface.

Yes, the Aria Pro-D meets all current regulations for women's lacrosse. It is designed to be compliant for play at the elite level, including high school, collegiate, and club competition.
