To pinch or not to pinch...

[BigTony]

I just got a new X2 and I wanted to know if anyone has had problems pinching them. Do they get flimsy or break? Stuff like that.

[lacrosse64]

because i bench my d-poles when they drop clearing passes

spenny, i know atleast on a short stick i find no difference in catching with a heavily pinched stick compared to a wide one such as an X2 or Edge, only in how they throw and ball control; i just don't see how a bit more pinch hurts a players catching ability after several months playin lax in total. maybe it's different on a D pole where the head is a bit further away from you and requires a bit more eye hand coodination, but i would think optimum performance would be around a mid pinched head... like a vapor... not a mega wide one or hyper pinched one...

but had you mentioned making interceptions or knockin down passes i wouldn't have an argument with you there spenny... ;)

i was hoping that y'all would extrapolate the harder things (intereceptions) come after the easier things (catching passes), sorry a but too subtle

really tho, i'm tend to get a lot more upset about blown clears than missed knocked down passes/feeds


i had a close d guy this season start the year with a fuse, he spent more time on the bench. i told him to get a different head, he put an excalibur on there and pretty soon was a starter at D and finally moved to LSM.

it was a sucessful season after he got rid of the fuse.
