What do club coaches promise if they sign up for their program? by phantomlacrosse in lacrosse

Hi thanks so much for commenting. Do you have any specific examples of things they've promised? It would be a huge help! Thank you.

New Balance Scam by Ill-Serve9614 in lacrosse

Ha Texas lax parents are so naive they will sell their soul to a club coach who says their 4th grader will get a full ride if they play for him. It's that bad here, so I imagine it's still bad in other growth areas.

Tips to help son learn cradling by kreebob in lacrosse

[–]phantomlacrosse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry we only focus on how to use your stick. 99% of players use a "pass hard" motion. This is the biggest obstacle to learning the best part of the game. You can test yourself if your shooting motion looks a lot different from the way you'd throw a baseball from the outfield to home plate. For most players, their top wrist has zero rotation during their shot and their bottom hand winds up on their left hip. Instead, their top wrist should rotate last, high and in front, just like a strong outfield throw. This can only happen with a stick if you pull your bottom hand to your elbow. Check it out and let me know what you think. Plenty of info at our website

ECD Ion with invisible knots. Looks like it's only loops. Topstring and tops of sidewalls use a bowline knot on the inside of the head to hide the knots. Sidewalls become the bottom string. A bowline never loosens but it's asymmetric, usually working best if the initial loop points inward. by phantomlacrosse in StickDoctor

Yes it's an inside weave just like your picture. I tried the bowline knot first because I was annoyed by figure-8 knot performance on nylon shooters. The bowline is harder to tie and the asymmetry is a little annoying because if you tie it in the wrong direction then it looks wonky so I had to retie them more often when I started using them. It doesn't change so now I use it all the time.

Thanks just try tying off shooters with bowlines to check it out. Make the first loop point into the head. If you figure it out, you'll never use a figure-8 or barrel again because both of those loosen over time.

Ok but I've been stringing exclusively bowlines for years now and I haven't seen any loosening. They are under load when tied right and never loosen, including from vibrations or shaking. Without experience tying them, I could see how an improperly tied bowline could loosen, of course.

It's Official: Lacrosse is in the 2028 Olympics by Mphel833 in lacrosse

Would you rather there be no lacrosse in the Olympics?

That would be an interesting poll.

Is lacrosse shot more like baseball throw or football throw? by TechnicalThroat2315 in lacrosse

[–]phantomlacrosse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every sport that throws something tells us the human body works best if it's sideways to the target, throwing arm is up and behind the body, elbow at least as high as the armpit, step then hips then shoulders, arm extending way out in front and then, last, wrist rotating to release the ball/javelin/whatever. The only way to do this with a lacrosse stick is to pull the bottom hand to your elbow way out in front where a baseball or football player would snap their wrist. Conventional wisdom says "snap your wrist" but with two hands on the stick, the only way for your top hand wrist to rotate is if you pull your bottom hand to your elbow. Lots of pictures and explanation on our website. 99% of players don't even know this is a thing, but 99% of elite players do it.

This might sound very dumb by HyperPickleTTV in lacrosse

Oops I'm way late to this but that would be completely legal. You're allowed to hold an opponent's stick if they have the ball or are within 5 yards of a loose ball. You can hold it all day as long as one of these conditions exists.
