Legal head

[cloo24]

Hey i was wondering how wide a head had to be i know it has to be 6 1/2 inchs but what abuot in the middle i have a pinched matrix and when i put it int eh back of the stick it gets stuck i don't know if it's legal or not those are the kind of rules i am looking for like how wide it has to be at the throat and at the middle thanks alot:banghead :dummy

[BuckWyld]

do the heads have to be made from plastic?

[laxcrazy]

well now the companys are coming out with the rubber stuff IN the heads like the edge X and Fuse.

[Paul_Gait_RULZ]

so lax middie, what u r saying is that if you flare or temper the side wall, it makes it legal, hence, scoop 6.5 on the outside, but 6.2 in....

[BuckWyld]

I guess my question was more, could you use a metal head?

[LiquidMercury16]

yes you could I think its legal but it'd be dumb, wouldn't be able to have nearly the stick handling that you do because its so heavy. It'd also be dumb because you'd ruin a lot of peoples sticks and that'd be dick to do in my oppinion. now that I think abotu it I dont think it would be legal just because of the hazards it presents to other people depending how heavy the head is it could really break some bones and what not

[Longest]

And you can't break bones with a plastic head? =-O

Metal heads are illegal.


NFHS Rule 1-7-1 "The crosse shall be made of wood, laminated wood or synthetic material..."

[LiquidMercury16]

no you can break bones with a plastic head just not as easily as with a metal head or wooden head.

[BuckWyld]

hmm, any one know a synthetic material that is stiffer than plastic, easy to mold and not unbelievably expensive?

[SullyLax]

jello.

[Paul_Gait_RULZ]

you can always fiber glass wrap you head, seen it done, not sure if legal, cuz NCAA tends to have extremely stupid rules for lax sometimes as does uslax

[bigOHlax]

what do you mean by fiber glass warpping your head
also what would it do for you, make it stonger?

[Snake~eyes]

You can actually by fiberglass strips which are used for things like boat and car repair. You then mix two chemicals they give you and put the fibercglass on with them. Never tried it and never will but that's how fiberglass works. And that stuff is pretty strong.

[Lax4Ever]

You can get the strips and you can get a coating of fiberglass and have your stick completly covered. I used it on my golie stick in hockey to protect it from skates.

[bigOHlax]

does it really make your head that much stronger?

[lizlax22]

it sure will but will add wieght like whoa... one of the first synthetic lacrosse sticks was made of fiberglass and it was a long pole that felt like it wieghed 10 pounds

[UCFalcons7]

where would you get a metal head?

eh... stick with the plastic

[laxfreak4life]

idk i think a titanium head would be phat, ud never have to worry about breaking it, maybe bending but not breaking, u couldnt use it for face offs though

Not legally.
