STX Crankshaft Confusion

 

Headline News
   
 
Baltimore, MD � Due to a recent misinterpretation of the 2006 NCAA Men�s Rules by a few referees, coaches and retailers, the NCAA Men�s Lacrosse Rules Committee issued the attached release concerning STX�s Crankshaft and the heads intended to be sold with the Crankshaft. The two key points made by the Committee are:  

1. The STX Crankshaft products �are considered to be legal�
2. The �table top� rule is the over-riding rule when considering the legality of off-set heads and/or bent handles

Furthermore, the NFHS clearly expressed its position by stating that �since the STX Crankshaft products meet the �table top� test, they [are] allowed for use under the NFHS Boys Lacrosse Rules�.

This should end any confusion about the legality of STX�s newest product line at all levels of play. The so-called �table top� test appears on page 15 of the STX 2006 catalog, page 20 of the 2006 NCAA Men�s Lacrosse Rules handbook and page 14 of the 2006 NFHS Boys Lacrosse Rules Book.
