Lacrosse stick for an advanced 8th grade player?

Question

im thinking about getting a new lacrosse stick soon for my 8th grade year and im pretty certain im going to get a debeer stick. i am a mid field player offense and score alot of my teams goals, so i was thinking of the intuition but has anybody heard of the tempest pro and whats it like? id like a light stick with good control, so which stick do u think i should get (list others if you think these two arent good for me)

Answer 1

Debeer is definitely the way to go. Hands down.

I have an Intuition and I absolutely love it. I have an aluminum shaft on it so it's heavier than normal.

I actually got to try out the tempest pro at the lacrosse expo in denver and it is very similar to the Intuition BUT they redesigned it so you can pick up ground balls easier. It has the new Gripper Strings, which is just like the trakker but the two center strings are rubbery so the ball almost sticks to it for better control.

The one I tried had the new composite shaft on it so it was super light, but I think if you put a composite shaft on the Intuition it would be just as light.

The one downside to both sticks is that it's pretty hard to take the draw with them. They are both very offest and get caught on your opponents stick when you pull up so if you play center I would rethink getting an Intuition or the Tempest Pro.

If you're a center you should look at the Envy Pro, it's not so curved, and it similar to the original Tempest, and still easy to take the draw with, and since it's also really offset, you can get a big pocket and get lots of whip on your shot.

Hope this helps!!

i personally use the brine scandium shafts, I have an Air and Comfort Grip, they're light weight and strong, but not like titanium.
