I prefer metal - it might bend but won't break like carbon ones will (not to say it's impossible, but more unlikely in MS). STX Hammer 700 is a middle of the road dshaft, won't break the bank if you cut it.

I really thought this thread was about something else. I am glad I read it before reporting it!

Our son, 6'3" uses a d-pole and generally they haven't bent but they have snapped in half. This didn't occur until HS and has only happened once. He has broken a few of his opponents though. The material didn't seem to matter..

full length stick and don't cut it unless the kid isn't going to grow past 5'10. plus carbon fiber which will be strong but lighter than alloys and metals.

OP- so is carbon shafts the best way to go from a durability/dents and weight perspective?

Depending on how big he is, he could use full size shaft or cut it down to slightly above his height wearing a helmet (only if you didn't spend tons of $$ on it). Light and durable.

I would not worry about the brand of shaft at that age. It will not make that much of a difference. The most important thing you can do is cut the shaft down to an appropriate size. If he is already 5'8" or so, then a full length stick may be okay. Any shorter than that, I would recommend cutting it down to your son's height.

My DS is moving from midi to defense so looking for input on pros/cons on different shafts on the market beyond all the marketing hype.
