How do I fit my lacrosse head on to the shaft correctly?
Step 1: Prepare the head and shaft
- Remove any caps or plugs from the head and shaft.
- Clean the inside of the head and the outside of the shaft with rubbing alcohol.
Step 2: Align the head and shaft
- Place the head on a flat surface with the holes facing up.
- Insert the shaft into the bottom hole and align the remaining holes.
Step 3: Secure the head
- Use a hex key or wrench to tighten the screws or bolts that secure the head to the shaft.
- Ensure that the head is snugly attached and does not move when you rotate it.
Step 4: Adjust the length
- Extend or shorten the shaft as needed by adjusting the telescoping mechanism or cutting the shaft.
- The ideal shaft length allows you to stand upright with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle when holding the stick.
Step 5: Optimize the fit
- If the fit is loose, wrap athletic tape around the shaft inside the head to tighten the connection.
- If the fit is too snug, use a file or sandpaper to slightly widen the head's holes or the shaft's exterior.
