Why do great lacrosse players seek out STX equipment to keep them on top of their game?
Maybe it's because STX was started by one of their own.
Founder Richard Tucker, an All-American member of the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team in 1951, simply wanted a way to spread his passion for lacrosse to a larger audience. But the market was bare. Sticks were limited in their availability, coming mostly from Native American reservations, where wooden sticks were meticulously handcrafted. So Tucker, who worked at manufacturing company Wm. T. Burnett, came up with a better idea - a synthetic lacrosse head.
Joining forces with fellow lax players and co-workers Joeseph Sollers, Jr., Bill Crawford and Roland Fracalossi, Tucker came up with the very first synthetic head in 1966. By 1968, the head was used in a game between Army and Navy and in 1970, STX was born.
The rest has been history. And it's a history that Sports Unlimited is proud to be a part of.
