warping the throat

[kingdawgell]

my friend brought to school a bionic the other day with a broken/warped throat. the bottom part of it had warped and curved outward so that when you held it regularly the offset was more extreme... as in the scoop pointed more towards the ground than it should have

would it be legal to do this on purpose .. warp the throat so the offset is bigger? what penalty would you assess for this? its not in the regular stick check (length, pocket depth, ability to leave pocket)

Offsets are allowed, as long as they fit the criteria below for the stick. The key measurement here is the distance from the "front" of the stick to the "rear". If this was to be enforced it would be considered an illegal stick and win a three minute all-expenses paid trip tot he penalty box. I've never seen it in my games.

The crosse shall be relatively straight from the butt end to the end of the
head. A “relatively straight” crosse shall be defined as one that may be laid
flat on a tabletop on the side opposite the netting so that a substantial portion
of the crosse rests on the table and such that there is a distance from
the tabletop to bottom edge of the head that at no point exceeds 2 3/4 inches
(see diagram).

eventually you'd probably get called,but as they say "it's not illegal unless you get caught"
