Sc-Ti 7X LSM/Defensive Shaft – 60"

What the 60″ Sc-Ti 7X is The 60″ Sc-Ti 7X is a 385-gram scandium-titanium alloy pole for LSMs and close defenders. It is metal, which means the checks you throw all game dent it instead of breaking it. If you want a lighter pole and can accept composite's failure mode, the Darkhorse-375 is the carbon alternative at the same length. Who this is for Close defenders who throw checks every possession and are tired of replacing poles LSMs who need a pole that survives ground balls and transition contact Players who have had a composite pole let go mid-check Who this isn't for Poles who prioritise weight above everything. 385 g is a substantial pole. Carbon goes lighter — see the Darkhorse-375 at 375 g. Attack and midfield. You want the 30″ Sc-Ti 7X. Goalies. Wrong profile.

Scandium-titanium at 385 g absorbs checks by deforming. A dented pole is still a pole. You keep playing and you replace it on your schedule. Carbon composite — the Darkhorse-375 at 375 g, or the Darkhorse-425 at 425 g if you break poles — is stiffer and transmits a check more directly. When composite fails it fails completely, usually at the worst moment. If you have snapped more than one pole in a season, metal is the honest recommendation. Finish — which grip Bead Blast — uniform matte texture. The subtlest of the two, and the most forgiving if you re-tape. 3D Raised Checkered Grip — raised checker pattern for secure control in wet or sweaty conditions.
