Why does USA Lacrosse publish this chart if they're going to plaster disclaimers all over it that they believe the 12 month chart is the way to go and that this is club / event preference. Seems like taking a stand on the issue would be a lot more respectable.

Im looking to a get a new stick. I play 2-way middie and have had an ECD mirage 2 graphene with a carbon 3.0 pro power for the past few years. Unfortunately, that stick is falling apart so I need to get a new one.

For the head, something good for GBs and lightweight, but still has some durability -- I want it mainly for offense/shooting, but it should still be good for defense

For the shaft, just something durable, not sure what to look for

Price isn't an issue. I'm considering the MTX and Mirage 3 graphene from ECD, but am definitely open to other options

Thanks!
