Which Women's Lacrosse Stick Is Best for You?
A complete women's lacrosse stick comes with the head, shaft and pocket already put together and strung, so it's ready to play out of the box. Three things decide the right girls' lacrosse stick: your age, the position you play, and the pocket you want.

Pick Your Women's Lacrosse Pocket
Most of our women's sticks come in more than one pocket. The head and shaft are the same. Only the pocket changes.
Type 5 mesh. Our newest women's mesh, for a smooth, consistent release in any weather.
Type 4 mesh. Softer, for easier catching and cradling.
Tech Trad. Our take on the traditional pocket, for players who like its feel and hold.

Girls' and women's rules set the length of the whole stick, head included, at 35.5 to 43.25 inches. Our full-size women's lacrosse sticks are 42 inches, and our youth girls' lacrosse sticks are 38 inches.
High school and college rules also require a stick that is on USA Lacrosse's list of legal sticks. Every StringKing women's head is on the list.
