The Opportunity
One of the most important aspects of a lacrosse head - the bottom rail - requires special attention as it relates to stress distribution and durability.

The Idea
Inspired by the simple, yet structurally sound, shape of a steel I-beam, C-Channel takes the typical rail profile and removes non-structural material. This allows the sidewall to retain the strength of the original rail while removing any excess weight.
The Results

BETTER STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO
The design of STX's C-Channel technology ultimately comes down to one goal: A higher strength-to-weight ratio due to the most efficient structural support where it counts the most.
