As one of the oldest Sporting Goods manufacturers in the U.S.,deBeer knows and believes in Innovation, Performance andIntegrity. J. deBeer and Son, Inc. was founed in 1889 by JacobdeBeer, a German Dutch immigrant tanner began making his ownbaseballs in a converted barn in Johnston, NY soon after baseball'sorigin.

In 1997, as a consultant, Paul Gait helped deBeer become a full lineprovider of men's lacrosse equipment. Gait began designing equip-ment that enhanced a player's natural ability to perform. This hasbeen the foundation for all of deBeer's equipment design.

Today deBeer is proud to be affliated with teams such as the 2006Men's Lacrosse National Champions, the University of Virgina, 2006Women's National Lacrosse Runner-Up, Dartmouth and the U.S.National Women's Lacrosse Team. Although the torch has beenpassed to a new generation, 117 years later, deBeer's mission is stillto design quality, innovative equipment that enhances the player'snatural performance and ability.

Harrow is, at its core, a company of athletes. Everything we sell hasbeen used by our staff, along with current and former professionalathletes. (Not so hard when several of your staff members are pro-fessional athletes) We started the Company because we felt thatthe needs of athletes were not being met by the traditional big man-ufacturer/big retailer channel. We believe that products and sportsare position specific. We know that performance is related to confi-dence and confidence in your equipment is reflected in your overallattitude toward the battle you are facing. You won't find Harrowproducts in Big Box retailers. Why? Because we believe that choos-ing the right equipment requires the advice of a teaching profes-sional or specialty storeowner. It bothers us a lot when we seeyoung athletes playing with equipment that has the wrongflex/grip/string/curve/head, etc. You CAN have the right equipmentat a fair price, when you need it. Let us show you how. Visit HarrowSports at http://www.harrowsports.com/.

STX has been the leader in the lacrosse industry for over 35 years.Credited with inventing the plastic head, STX offers the lightestshafts and heads in the lacrosse industry. They offer cutting edgelacrosse equipment that enables players to reach peak perform-ance. Superstars such as Gary Gait, John Grant and many otherpro players use STX lacrosse equipment.
