Lacrosse Heads
With the huge selection on Captain-Lax.com, it is sometimes not easy to find the right lacrosse head The stiffness, width of the head and weight are important aspects to consider when purchasing a lacrosse head. In the following we have briefly summarized the most important characteristics of a lacrosse head.
Men's Heads
Due to their usually flatter for men’s lacrosse Sidewalls they enable good ball handling and a wide pocket. Men’s heads are usually equipped with a softer, more modern mesh. The heads are equipped with a mesh or stringing equipped and are located at the upper end of the embroidery. They are the central point for catching, holding and shooting balls.
Women's Heads
Stringed heads for women in lacrosse are usually equipped with a traditional, rigid and firm mesh or a hybrid mesh. The hybrid mesh, which is both fine and rigid, creates a good feel for the ball between the pocket and the head. Women’s heads are designed with a certain geometry so that the ball stays in the pocket when running and catching and the ball is shot precisely when shooting.
For what reason should
I pinch my head?
Pinching helps you shape your lacrosse head in such a way that it becomes more difficult for opposing players to take the lacrosse ball from you. In addition, narrower lacrosse heads ensure that the ball lies better in the pocket. But don’t forget – catching is much more difficult with a pinched head. You should also know the limit, because if you pinch your lacrosse head too much, it will eventually become illegal. Don’t overdo it! You should also note that if you have pinned your lacrosse head, the warranty will be void.

MESHES & STRINGS

MESHES
With so many great lacrosse heads on the market, the question of what is the best head is often raised. You might as well ask what the best hamburger is. The answer is: the one you like the most. The truth is that most good lacrosse players can play well with almost any head. The secret is the pocket, the personal, individual aspect of the sport of lacrosse, so to speak.
When did I use
soft and when
hard mesh?
It always depends on your personal preferences. Your soft mesh is much faster to break in than a real hard mesh. The soft mesh also has advantages when cradling and catching. It feels like you have better control. On the other hand, the hard mesh scores points in terms of durability. Here it has a clear advantage. The Hard Mesh also makes passes and shots much faster. Since the ball falls out more easily with hard mesh, a soft mesh can be recommended for beginners.
mesh vs.
traditional strings?
The advantages of mesh over traditional pockets are easy to explain: the vast majority of stick stringers can string or repair a mesh pocket faster than a traditional. The reason, in addition to what has already been mentioned, is that hard mesh offers many of the advantages of a traditional pocket (e.g. a consistent pocket) without the maintenance disadvantage associated with traditional pockets. Hard mesh pockets break in faster and are not as vulnerable to the weather. When the leather in the pocket gets wet it stretches and expands, when it dries it becomes stiff and tight. Soft mesh is suitable for beginners, but also expands quickly with hard passes from advanced players. However, many experienced players swear by their Traditional Pockets because the stringing possibilities in Traditional Pockets are virtually unlimited.
