STX (a contraction of the word "sticks" but commonly called "S-T-X") is a sports equipment manufacturer based in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a subsidiary of Wm. T. Burnett & Co. STX makes lacrosse equipment, field hockey equipment, and golf putters, but its main business is in manufacturing of men's and women's lacrosse sticks and protective gear, including gloves, pads, and women's eyewear. The company was founded in 1970 by Richard B.C. Tucker, Sr. as STX Inc. STX's first stick was the double wall, synthetic lacrosse head, which was the first synthetic stick and the only type used to score goals in the first NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship (1971).
STX is one of the largest manufacturers of lacrosse equipment, and in Maryland, part of the $18 million industry.
In the mid-1970s, STX began branching out from lacrosse equipment with the development of golf putters, aided by ties with the chemical company DuPont. In 2006, a survey conducted by the Darrell Survey Company on the PGA Tour determined that STX putters were considered among the top five.

welcome my friends
to a place that may seem
most disturbing
quite unnerving
lend me your dreams
and we'll add what we need
to be free
terminally
we'll fly to a spot
where I know there is not
any sorrow
no tomorrow
people just laugh
cause they know how it feels
to have loved
and be loved
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is lovebah bah bah bah bah
now you may say
tell me more of this place
so inviting
and exciting
here and above
children love without doubt
and can be
they can be
listen my friends
carefully to direction
to get there
and you know where
love is the place
skewed to matter and space
for us all
for us all
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is love, love, love
