Introducing the 'Retro Railgun' from Haute Stick Lacrosse Three years in the making, the Retro Railgun is a backwards jump in lacrosse shaft technology. That's why we call it the "Retro"! Box Lacrosse players demanded a shaft with the solid feel of wood, without having to sacrifice the strength of alloys. The Retro Railgun is designed for those lacrosse players that love the feel of wood, but want the strength of more modern shafts. This shaft is the second hybrid shaft designed by Haute Stick, and continues the winning tradition of innovative lacrosse gear.
As you can see above, two twin rails are elastomerically bonded with a special high strength adhesive that never hardens like most brittle glues. The special rubberized elastomer helps to absorb impact shock and spread the vibration through to the high-strength aluminum spine. Through the integration of the elastomeric adhesive and the high strength Alloy tube, the whole shaft acts as a shock absorbing structure and can take hits that would dent even more expensive metal shafts. In fact, this special glue is so exotic it costs over $260 dollars per gallon! All this technology is available at a very special price through our internet only special offer. In the future, like the Titanium Railgun, the Retro will be available in several different 'Flavors'. Retro RailGun LT { Light } -- Made out of lightest weight Northern Ash, reinforced with a 7000 series (CU-31) aluminum anodized spine. Retro RailGun XS { Extra Strength } -- Made out of imported hardwood with a 7000 series aluminum anodized spine, We use aged and kiln dried Hickory, the strongest most flexible wood. It's a little heavier, but ever stronger than the LT version. This same wood has been used in Golf Clubs for centuries. (This shaft will be available later on in the season) |
