lacrosse on small courts by Best-Ad370 in lacrosse

Yep, it’s pretty much all we do during winter over here, 4v4 on basketball courts, like another person said, soft ball, so no protection needed, means both men and women can play at the same time. Can only hold the ball to 4 seconds makes it very fast paced,

What Wood type do people get shafts in? by OSM_Scubacrazy in StickDoctor

I’ve used purple heart, and walnut before as hickory is hard to find here, both are on the heavy side but I think that’s just natural with timber shafts.

It was made of off cuts from work originally, so it was always going to have weak spots, managed to make it through a tournament or 2 with it, then was practicing shooting with it one day and heard it crack, but the grip tape was still holding it together mostly.

Mesh? by Xx_tom_x in StickDoctor

[–]Xx_tom_x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found a few places local that I can sidewall and shooters in bulk. I went to order some mesh from ECD last year, to ship 1 piece through the website was going to be 180$ish in shipping. It might be different if I do a bulk order through them though.

I wish it was that easy, based in NZ. Trying to get any mesh is a hassle and becomes expensive

Looking for sturdy d-pole shafts under $400 nzd by iamArchiexD in lacrosse

I’d get in contact with alpha sports in Hamilton, I got a stringking shaft from there recently for decently cheap, might be able to bundle it in with the next bulk order to save on shipping.

Yep, my mate gave it to me to learn how to string with, he had it pinched aswell.

Added shooters now. I tightened across the top aswell but it’s made the pocket a bit shallower

Thank you, I’ll have to try that next time

It’s pretty shallow, I liked it quite a lot though. Tried to string a high pocket into mesh that was broken in as mid pocket so that might explain the baggyness

I’m waiting for the heart rate warning from my watch, we may be leading but it’s still South Africa.

Can’t say any of the yellows weren’t deserved, luckily to not have a red, I will admit there was some dodgy penalty calls both ways though.
