What is the difference between an attack/midfielders stick, and a defensemans stick in mens lacrosse?
A. An attack or midfielder’s stick is allowed to be between 37″ and 40″ in length from butt end to head tip, this allows for more maneuverability and speed on the field by the offense. The defenseman’s stick can be anywhere from 37″ to 72″ in length from butt end to head tip, although they generally run between 60″ and 72″. This allows the defenseman a much longer reach and the ability to widen their defense zone by holding the stick perpendicular to their body.
