pinching?

[rjattack19]

ok, so wuts the deal with pinching heads? i heard that it makes the head weaker. wut benefits do u get from pinching ur head??? :WTF:

[LaxBoy92]

you get more handling and less ball rattle. the heads i've pinched have not become weaker.

[njlaxpunk10]

you get much better handleing like laxboy said, and much more accurate passing and shooting.

bad side of this is that it may be harder to catch.

quoted for emphasis. if you are not an advanced player, DO NOT pinch your stick.
dropped passes are a sure way to spend extended time riding pine. (i dont know why i call it that since i dont let my players sit down when they are on the sidelines...)

enhances your ball control,makes it a lot harder for to guys to strip you of the ball 2 stupid evo pro,doesn't give you much room to catch tho

its depends on what way you pinch your head that makes it weaker if you throw your head say in the oven to pinch it then right away throw it in the freezer you'll probly weaking your head a lot due to the dramatic temperature change

but say you just steam pinch your head and leave it on the counter after its done pinched and let it return to room temperature and you'll be fine

yeah severe temperature changes arent good,just steam it.

none of the heads ive pinched have broken. all the heads ive broken have all been unpinched. the benefits are you get better ball control, more accuracy, less ball rattle. like makimaki said, extreme temperature changes are bad, thats prolly why they get weaker. what i do is put it in the oven at 350 for 5 or 6 minutes, then let it chill in my room for a couple days before untying it, and like i said, none have ever broken

also theres tutorials here and on e-lacrosse so look there.

Like everyone said you just get more accuracy and all that good jazz but it also gets alot weaker, especially when the temp drops.
