hey i just needed a little input...i can decide weather i should get the scandium premier or the warrior titan pro. i just snapped my krypto pro of 5 years, and am looking for a stronger lighter shaft. What do y'all think? Do you guys know if the scandiums have the same warping problem that generally at associated with the titans?

Sc + Ti Premiere is much lighter, but in my opinion would be much easier to snap than the Titan Pro. My favorite new handle is the Warrior Dolomite, which has a titanium feel, but is mixed with the Kryptos. If you are looking to get a high end handle, it's hard to recommend the Premiere, just b/c it seems like it could break so easily. I would honestly recommend the Dolomite over either.

I have the premier as my short pole and I do like how light it is but some decent sized dings are starting to show up. I have used the Titan Pro and had the same thing happen.

Honestly, I would look at who had the longer warrantee. If I remember right the Warrior Titan series is only at a month or something absurd like that.

Dolomite does come in d, but we haven't gotten ours yet. They will probably be in around the middle of Feb.

I was informed that Warrior doesn't warantee any of their titanium shafts- at all! I don't claim to be an expert but that is what I was told by a couple of gentlemen from different lacrosse retailers.

im good on that whole warrentee bit. I love the new dolomite, ive dented some pretty solid titans, and not even a scratch on the paint.....i think this just might last a little longer than my old shaft.

Warrior does have warantee on their titanium shafts, you can find this on their website www.warriorlacrosse.com. However, it is only 30 days for long poles and i think 6 months for short poles. I could be wrong about the short pole length.

Sorry to confuse you Scooter. I hit the edit button instead of the quote button. Thats why it looked like TheNino was talking something crazy.

I fixed everything but deleted your post Scooter. Sorry again.

I would agree with that. I went with a Kryptolyte with a hope it's a little more reliable and it comes about $50 cheaper I think too.

Honestly, I'm hesitant to pay much more then 100-130 bucks or so on a D-shaft. Right out of high school I bought a Brine Ti22 and on my first day of using it, it gets bent. I've bent it back so it's playable, but probably the biggest waste of 190 bucks I've ever spent. Just from my personal experience, the more you pay, the more fragile they seem to get. Snapped a Brine Scandium right in half this fall, only had it for maybe 5-6 months.

About the warrantees, I believe I heard Brine doesn't even cover their Titaniums anymore. Might that say something about the quality of the stick...?

Are the Dolomite's really that nice? I was browsing some lax sites the other day and came across it. I'd like to get a slightly better stick and turn my Krypto into a back-up.
