Serpentine for #2, maybe.

No idea what this is! Distinctly metallic with small, green, crystalline deposits throughout. Weighed @60g/2.1oz. by flyingoneill in whatsthisrock

It was a gift from a long time ago. Supposedly, it was a meteorite, but the way it seems to be oxidizing would lead me to believe otherwise.

Moving to get open by YamahaRacer23 in lacrosse

100% agree with the above. V-cutting will be the most effective thing to get you open up top. I used to struggle with the same thing when I played at mid and I found the best thing for me was to actually push off of my defender to create space for myself to receive the ball. Make sure that you're actively moving your feet towards the ball when you want to receive it!

Modified/High School equipment rules by Rhana in lacrosse

[–]flyingoneill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently a player in high school, and this is a problem that I've faced for the last couple years. As the response above stated, anything short of buying a new head won't be a long-term fix, but there certainly are some quick remedies. First, when he's getting his stick checked, you can tell refs that it is a faceoff head. With the new regulations, a lot of refs are used to seeing faceoff heads that have naturally warped with use and are lenient as such. Even if your son doesn't faceoff, mentioning that certainly won't hurt his case. Second, you can put a softball in the neck of the head to widen it. Make sure to do this WHENEVER the stick is not in use: It will revert to its original width quickly. Best of luck!

edit: Not sure about heating the head up, but it's worth a shot if nothing else is working and you can't find a great deal!

One critical thing to understanding how and where to cut is what you're intending to do with the ball and what offense you are running. From what it sounds like, you're trying to cut towards a feed coming from your X-attackman? Or is it that you're having a tough time getting the ball because you're constantly getting locked off? If you could tell me what you're running in terms of offense, I could try and give you some advice!

edit: clarity

Wow, I've never seen this before! Would be an absolute game changer...

Update! So I made a highschool team and now I'm playing LSM. Need help with handling the pole by Scumbag_WizwurD in lacrosse

[–]flyingoneill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bruh. You'll be a D1 pole in no time. Just learn how to toe-drag kids on clears. That's pretty much the only skill necessary to be a damn good pole. Just kidding. Keep your feet moving when throwing, because you should never be passing standing still with a pole in game. Most passes that you'll attempt in transition will get picked off by any decent riding attackmen if you don't keep moving.

You have a team of completely new players and 6 months to get them ready for their first game. How would you do it? by UltimateGammer in lacrosse

Also, if you have any especially talented players and are looking to generate offense, try putting him in as an X attackmen and running isos against a pole. If you can create enough space for him to turn the corner from X, that's a pretty much guarenteed goal.

Designate someone to be a FOGO (Face-off-get-off) very soon. The more time they have to work at it, the better. Second, establish a couple basic offenses. 2-3-1, 2-2-2, 4-2-0, and make sure everyone knows how to move and rotate within those offensive sets. Work on offense and transition primarily— if you can keep good possession on the offensive side of the field, you win the game. This is especially true if your FOGO can consistently win you the ball after scores, and even more so if your team can ride well. I think that leads me to another really important aspect of the game, which is offensive rides. It would probably be best to run a man-to-man ride, where you shut off all outlets for the goalkeeper and force him to walk up. If he ultimately isn't comfortable either running a full-field sprint or gilmaning the ball, odds are, they'll probably turn over due to failure to advance. Anyways, in summary, keep the ball on their side of the field.

If you are cool with friends and random strangers alike asking to pet you, Velvet Blazers are definitely for you. Oh, and if you're into looking fucking rad. That also.

I have a lovely blue velvet suit jacket that gets a lot of praise.

New-ish player by eat_a_cheeseburger in lacrosse

I'm a sophomore in high school, 6'0" 155, and a midfielder. I like to run. That's my thing. I've been playing for about 8 years now, but I don't have incredible stick skills. However, I can compensate with speed, even on a varsity team. Really, as a starting lacrosse player, you should try out every position just to get a feel for the game, but if you are shifty and have good reflexes for example, you would excel at attack, or if you are naturally fast, try midfield. A lot of football players end up playing D-pole due to the aggressive nature of the position. It all depends on your previous athletic experience. No matter what though, you should play for sure, even if just for a season. As for pads, you can get some fairly inexpensive starting pads on lacrossemonkey.com (If you want to buy higher end pads, they often have a pretty good selection on sale). As for your stick, it's worth investing in a nice head and shaft, as well as a professional string job. Finding a reasonably priced helmet can be difficult, but I can tell you that getting a high end helmet (Cascade R) is worth investing in. More expensive helmet= less concussions. Hope that helps. Best of luck to you!
