About Hickory Lacrosse
- Family Owned and Operated
Made in USA
We have worked out of our family workshop for the past five years to perfect the art of creating wooden lacrosse shafts
- Why Wood?
Why Choose a Wood lacrosse Shaft?
Defensive players love the shafts due to their punishing power against attackmen. Offensive players love the feel of a traditional wood lacrosse stick in their hands during practice and games.
We have also created the highest quality Bamboo Shaft for the lowest price. Our solid core and stabilizer supports provide optimal flex and strength.
- Why Hickory?
Why We Choose Hickory
No other wood matches the strength and flexibility of hickory. We get our wood locally and hand-pick what we put into our shafts.
Oak is the same hardness as hickory but it is also less flexible which is not ideal for lacrosse.
Other woods like White Pine are super soft and not ideal for lacrosse.
- Why Bamboo?
Why We Branched Out Into Bamboo
We saw an opportunity to improve on the negatives of bamboo shafts and create something different with our solid core and vertical struts. The bamboo shafts on the market use too many small strips of bamboo, which creates inconsistent performance. We researched raw materials, found extremely high quality bamboo, and decided to offer a product we are proud of.
- Quality Commitment
We Are Committed to Quality
We pick through thousands of board feet of wood to choose only the straightest and knot free boards to turn into our hickory lacrosse sticks.
Our Danish Oil finish hardens in the wood to seal from the inside out.
All of our polyurethanes are of the highest quality.
When did Hickory Lacrosse come in to existence and where are you located?
- Hickory Lacrosse started in my uncle's workshop when I created two shafts for an end of the season lacrosse banquet in 2004. We have a full workshop of fine woodworking machines and an easy to use website (we do all of our transactions through PayPal to ensure security) and have worked to perfect the art of creating the ideal wooden lacrosse shaft for the past 5 years out of our family workshop in Buffalo, New York.
- Pour products are in all 50 states, Europe, Australia, and have been used in many college games around the country.
- Hickory Lacrosse is a family business. Everything from the website to manufacturing to shipping is done by the Dylag family. I have always been intrigued by the Native American tradition and history of the game of lacrosse. I have played and coached the sport for over a decade and formed the company because the tradition of the wooden shaft is truly unique.
- Hickory is one of the strongest woods in the world. Hickory is known for its flexibility, which creates an extremely durable shaft. The shafts are great for practice due to the added weight, which results in faster shot speeds and better ball control when a lacrosse player switches back to the metal shaft for game play. Defensive players love the shafts due to their punishing power against attackmen. Offensive players love the feel of wood in their hands during practice and games. No other wood matches the strength and flexibility of hickory. Find out more about hickory here.
- Training with a wooden lacrosse shaft will make you a better player. It will help increase shot speed, handling, and stick checks.
