Customizable Options Provide Total Control Over Your Lacrosse Stick
The Gait Apex lacrosse stick grants players full customization over their equipment for optimal performance. With multiple flex options for the shaft, you can choose the right stiffness and responsiveness to match your playing style. The removable end cap allows you to modify the balance and feel.
Stringing the triangular top string in different configurations adjusts the ball’s release point for more accurate passes and shots. You can also tweak the pocket placement to produce the ideal ball speed, hold, and snap for your position. Whether you prefer a mid-low pocket for quicker feeds or a deeper pocket for improved ball control, you can string the Apex head to your exact specifications.
Unlike sticks with fixed features, the Apex allows midfielders, attackmen, defenders, and goalies to fine-tune the flex, balance, release point, and pocket to excel at their unique roles on the field. It provides customization options that lacrosse players of all ages and ability levels need to gain an edge over their competition. The capacity to tailor the stick to your strengths and style is invaluable.
For developing players, having full adjustability enables you to modify the stick as your skills progress. The Apex can transform with your game over the years to remain your go-to gamer from youth leagues into college. Thanks to the high degree of personalization available, it truly is the only lacrosse stick you’ll ever need.
Stiff and Strong Yet Lightweight Shaft Improves Accuracy
The shaft of the Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick provides the ideal blend of stiffness, strength, and lightweight feel for superior ball control and accuracy. The alloy composite construction enables the shaft to remain rigid during checks and passes without adding unnecessary weight. The minimal extra ounces compared to shafts made of more premium materials like carbon fiber or titanium allow the Apex to deliver quick, effortless movement and responsiveness.
The stiff, stable shaft gives you better command over the head during passing and shooting. Unlike sticks with more flex, the limited give of the Apex shaft keeps the head firmly in place through your throwing motion. This consistency leads to more accurate feeds and increased shooting precision on net. The rigidness also provides exceptional ball feel and hold on cradles.
Despite its hardy construction, the Apex shaft does not tire out your arms. Its lightweight feel reduces strain on your muscles during extensive offensive possessions and lengthy defensive stands. Your hands and arms stay fresh for executing skills and reacting quickly all game long. The balance between heft and lightweight design gives you the endurance to dominate from opening whistle to final horn.
The alloy composite material offers the rigidity needed for precise passing and shooting without sacrificing durability. It holds strong against hacking, slashing, and physical defenders. While fiercely robust, it retains responsive flex for fluid throwing, catching, and scooping motions. If you want a lightweight yet sturdy lacrosse shaft for consistent accuracy, the Apex is a superior option.
With its unparalleled blend of stiffness, strength, and featherlight feel, the Gait Apex complete stick grants players the control, endurance, and precision required to perform at the highest levels. Take your fundamentals to the next level with this exceptionally crafted shaft.
Strategic Triangle Top String Adds Extra Ball Control
The triangular top string configuration on the Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick head provides superior ball control for confident carrying and quick passing. Unlike traditional straight or split top designs, the triangle top string optimizes the ball’s release point for greater accuracy.
As you enter your throwing motion, the strategic shape and placement of the top string cradles the ball securely in the pocket’s sweet spot. This consistency sets your hands in the ideal position to drive through the ball with accuracy on feeds, shots, and clears. The triangle top string also enhances control on backhands by promoting clean releases.
On cradles, the shape and tension generated by the triangular stringing provides exceptional hold of the ball within the pocket. The ball moves effortlessly with the head as you run down the field or dodge defenders. The triangle top string essentially forms a ball stopper at the perfect location in the throat of the head for confident carrying.
The triangle top string also maintains the pocket’s shape and depth. As you break in the Apex head through wall ball sessions and gameplay, the strategic stringing prevents bloated pockets and inconsistent throwing channels. This allows the head to maintain the same precise hold and release point from day one through the life of the head.
For developing players, the triangle top string instills added confidence in carrying and passing the ball cleanly. The advanced stringing technology ensures the ball sits snugly in the pocket’s sweet spot when carrying and releases cleanly out the center of the head on feeds. Dominate possessions and move the ball quickly and accurately thanks to the triangle top stringing of the Gait Apex lacrosse head.
Maximum Ball Speed from Precision Pocket Placement
The strategically constructed pocket on the Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick head provides maximum ball speed for blistering shots and quick-release passes. Unlike pockets with inconsistent pocket placement, the precision woven pocket sits deep in the ideal location to generate top-tier velocity.
The nylon cords interlock in the lower sidewall area to form a centralized, pre-set pocket. This allows the ball to sit deep in the head’s sweet spot through the throwing motion. As you deliver your pass, the centered position enables you to catch the ball flush in the pocket’s core to whip your hands and arms through for lightning-quick shots and feeds.
The pocket’s depth also lets you load up on big wind-ups by cradling the ball rearward in the head. Bringing the ball lower during your wind-up allows you to build potential energy and transfer it into kinetic energy as you swing through. This whip-like throwing motion produces maximum speed for blowing shots past goalies. The pre-set depth provides consistency to optimize mechanics.
On catches, the deep pocket absorbs hard passes smoothly to maintain possession. The ball nestles securely into the woven cradle, centered in the head’s sweet spot. Thanks to the Apex’s precision pocket placement, you can corral passes with confidence and deliver blistering returns upfield or at the cage.
Throughout gameplay, the shape and depth remain consistent so you can develop muscle memory for your mechanics. Take your passing and shooting to the highest velocity with the strategically constructed, centered pocket on the Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick.
Scoop Design Grabs Ground Balls with Ease
The Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick features an advanced scoop design to gain possession off ground balls with ease. The flared shape improves your ability to get under ground balls cleanly for quick transitions.
The scoop’s wider face drops lower to the ground, getting underneath errant passes and loose balls. The flared design also covers more surface area for trapping and securing ground balls. Instead of struggling to pinch the ball between narrow pinch points, you can use the entire width of the scoop to corral ground balls off awkward hops.
The bounce of the ground ball also helps direct it into the center of the wide scoop, making it easier to efficiently guide the ball into the pocket. The expanded width leaves little guesswork, allowing you to scoop up grounders smoothly without interrupting your momentum.
The stiffness of the alloy shaft transfers down through the head for added ground ball effectiveness. The inflexible shaft keeps the head square as you dig it into the turf, maximizing the scoop’s surface area contacting the ground. This stability aids in cleanly scooping low-to-high ground balls.
The strength of the alloy and thickness of the scoop holds up against all turf conditions for reliability. You won’t have to worry about chips or warping even when scooping balls off hard, unforgiving surfaces. Gain possession more easily during ground ball scrums thanks to the Apex’s robust, flared scoop.
Durable Head Withstands Hard Checks and Extreme Play
The Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick features a rugged head constructed from tough materials to withstand hacking, slashing, and physical defenders. The thickness and materials of the sidewalls, scoop, and throat provide the necessary protection for aggressive field play.
The thickened sidewall rails forged from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy can withstand brutal checks. Even if defenders attempt to dislodge the ball by hammering down on your stick, the sturdy sidewalls prevent warping. This allows you to maintain possession through contact down the alleys or in the crease.
The alloy strengthens the whole frame to prevent damage. The rigidity retains the head’s original shape even after extensive use, preserving the pocket’s depth and channel. You can be confident heading into physical matchups knowing your Apex won’t get bent out of shape.
The high-grade material used for the throat also holds strong against hacking and slashing. Its thickness and construction provide insurance against inadvertent throat-to-throat contact and defenders trying to jar the ball free. The strength of the throat ensures you won’t lose the ball on checks.
Throughout games, practices, and workouts, the durability of the Gait Apex head allows it to maintain elite performance. While designed for responsiveness, it does not sacrifice robustness in competitive play. Trust in the Apex’s hardy construction for consistent excellence game after game, season after season.
Flexible Yet Sturdy Sidewalls Hold Pocket Shape
The Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick features flexible yet robust sidewalls that maintain the pocket’s structure through extensive play. The strategic sidewall design provides the ideal blend of responsiveness and durability.
Built from resilient aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the sidewalls retain some flex for smooth catching, cradling, and passing. The controlled bend aids in absorbing passes cleanly into the pocket while supporting quick, effortless release on feeds. The engineered flex also promotes fluid motions during cradling, transitions, and stick tricks.
Despite its flexible feel, the alloy sidewalls are thickened to remain sturdy against hack checks. The rigidity prevents warping or bending out of shape under pressure that could disrupt throwing mechanics. Maintenance of the sidewalls ensures the pocket does not stretch or bag out.
The strategic balance of flex and stiffness preserves the pocket’s structure and depth. Even under heavy use, the sidewalls withstand warping to promote consistent throwing channels and hold. You can continue relying on the optimal ball control and precise mechanics enabled by the pocket.
The sidewalls also retain memory and snap back to their original arched shape if stepping on the head. This further enhances the retention of pocket shape, channel, and ball control through years of play. Experience confident control thanks to the Apex’s engineered sidewalls.
Smooth Catching Surface Cradles Easily in Motion
The Gait Apex complete lacrosse stick features a smooth catching surface for superior ball control and easy cradling. The head material provides a slick coating for effortless transitions and fluidity of motion with the ball in the pocket.
During offensive possessions requiring constant motion and ball movement, the frictionless feel maintains the ball securely in the pocket with minimal need for adjustment. As you cradle down the field at top speed or dodge through traffic in the box, the smooth control surface promotes seamless sticks skills.
The slip-resistant surface also enables clean entries into the pocket on catches. The ball slides cleanly into the pocket’s sweet spot off feeds rather than catching and stalling on the head’s surface. This leads to quicker processing time for delivering efficient next passes.
With the smooth control surface, you can sell convincing ball fakes by rolling the ball within the pocket. The slippery surface allows the ball to roll back and forth smoothly to keep defenders guessing. You can also execute advanced stick tricks thanks to the slippery feel.
Throughout games, the low friction catching surface maintains its slick coat for buttery cradling, even in wet or humid conditions that can cause tackiness. Experience uninterrupted transitions and cohesive fundamentals thanks to the Apex’s smooth control surface.
