Description
- This 40 inch carbon fiber shaft is a favorite for all goalies playing at the highest level looking to add new technology to their game.The shaft has a concave shape with a slip/grip which is a highly engineered "gritty" textured topcoat, which allows for consistent grip to be maintained in all weather, while also allowing the shaft to move freely through your hands to provide an optimum handle and feel. The key to the Gen.7 Dragonfly is our Advanced Carbon Layering (ACL). The Dragonfly consists of very thin composite layers arranged in many different orientations. The torque box is located deep in the layup and involves a few specific changes to critical layers. Layers can be as thin as a few sheets of paper so it’s nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. The torque box is specifically centered on the key areas along the length of the shaft, just above the bottom hand and just below the top of the shaft. This places the technology in critical areas between and around the hands to create an optimal effect. We found that by increasing the strength through the center of the shaft, it could reduce the weight near the ends resulting in one of the lightest shafts on the market. This shaft has a Flex IQ of 3 which allows the shaft to bend more than your conventional shafts. It also has a uniform release point and comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. When passing or shooting, a load is introduced to the shaft causing it to flex back, which causes the carbon fibers to be stretched along the front of the shaft and compressed along the back. Reload Technology takes advantage of this situation by using low F.A.W. (Fiber Areal Weight) and high-modulus carbon fiber, which creates urgency for the fibers to return to their natural position for maximum recoil.
Epoch Dragonfly 7 C40 IQ3 40 Inch Stiff Flex Lacrosse Shaft As a part of their new Dragonfly 7 series, this is the lightest goalie handle that they have produced helping goalies have fast hands to the ball. New for 2017, is Epoch’s Torque Box 2 with Intelligent Weave Technology designed to stabilize the hands and push energy to the head for crisp outlet passes. Also new this year, the C40 features a refined Concave geometry for better feel and for the first time is available in Epoch’s Slip/Grip texture to help reduce the need for tape. The Epoch Dragonfly 7 C40 is available in a Flex iQ3.
