Gait Air 2 D Lacrosse Stick

This stick is specifically engineered for defensive play. While it can be used by other positions, the head shape and technology are optimized for defensive checks and ground ball control rather than the offensive versatility required by midfielders.

This technology is integrated into the head design to create specific contact points that make it easier to jar the ball loose during checks. It helps you apply more focused pressure on an opponent's stick without sacrificing your own control.

The narrowed design is intended to improve ball retention and accuracy, which can require a slight adjustment if you are used to wider heads. However, most defensive players find the increased control outweighs the learning curve once they get comfortable with the pocket.

Yes, the rigid, quick-release scoop is designed to get under the ball cleanly on the first attempt. This is particularly useful in crowded areas like the 8-meter mark, allowing you to scoop and clear the ball quickly before the defense can recover.

This is a complete stick, meaning it comes with the head and shaft pre-assembled and ready for play. It is balanced specifically for the defensive position right out of the box.
