stick regulations?

[laxdude 555]

I've been looking around, and haven't been able to find a good set of rules. can You have too many shooting strings?

To my knowledge, and I am a HS coach, rules only apply to length of the stick overall, and width of the head, as well as alteration. The only rule I know of regarding the mesh or pocket is depth and that you cannot dye the mesh to simulate a ball such as a round white area while the rest of the mesh is a different color. How many shooting strings do you want to put in.. I use 6 and sometimes 7.. Okay.. hbm

i thought it was 5 but if you use 6 or 7 i dont really know for sure

Well also consider that I am in post collegiate club lacrosse.. When I was in HS and College I only used 2 I believe. We don't adhere to the same rules as NFHS and NCAA..

No there is no rule regarding # of shooting strings.

just a question regarding measuring the stick and "tolerances". I saw a stick bounced during a stick check between quarters for what the ref claimed to be 1/16 of an inch on his Stanley tape measure. I am saying he'd be lucky if he could determine if it was in fact a 1/16 short on a good day, with equipment finer than a stanley tape measure. While I understand and respect the fact that you are there to enforce the rule, wouldn't the common sense thing to do in this instance be to tell the player that his stick is VERY close and that he should look into it. I don't think any advantage is gained by a 1/16 of an inch...and if you handed that stick to 5 different people you'd get at least 3 different measurements.
