dyed heads

[saiber]

hey
i was thinkin bout dyein my head and was wondering if ne one here has dyed an eclipse and if it gets too flexible afterwards
because my friend redyed the TOP of his head only and it started flexin so bad that shots would just bend the head and go in ne ways:dummy

so yeh ne tips also would be cool

Ive never heard of a eclipse doing that he probably had the water too hot or something but i couldnt think of anyreason that it owuld happen, should be fine to dye.

[spenny]

ive dyed several (4-5) eclipses, a nemesis and more goalmasters than you can count, and ive never seen anything even vaguely like that.

[saiber]

wow my friend must just suck lol
thx guys
btw this is the same guy who told me he went to europe then france over the summer lol
thx

[LatinBabe]

that is um.. very scary..you hang out with people like that?.. LOL

well.. yeah. if it really does do that then my guess is that he put it in acid at a rolling boil... actually, if the water is too hot then the held will lose a bit of structural integrity. that is why manufacterers void warranties when you pinch your stick, they become weaker over-so-slightly when heated then cooled.

dye the head red, and with the mesh or watever stringing you put in there die a target-like dye. you know, the circle within a circle within a circle. this one friend on mine did that to hers and its amazing at how much of you attention it grabs which causes you to involuntarily shoot more in that direction.

or just use other weird designs to catch people attention. someone on this board uses a pink eclipse with neon green mesh.. i forgot who it was.. but just do something odd. usually stay away from plain-ness...

I thought mesh had to be a solid color other wise it was illegal....

[LatinBabe]

never heard of that.. maybe where you play...

Katy

[jazzjon9]

nope, i've heard it's illegal too, but who knows? that would be cool though, pink and neon green, you'd be laughing at the kid thinking he was queer until he pulled out the best goalie skills you've ever seen.

[lacrossefreak]

yea i got the neon green mesh and pink head and yea i pull out all the stops

[LatinBabe]

well to my knowledge she never got called out on it.. so who knows..

yeah, just do something eye catching... that always helps on goalie sticks.. usually the uglier the better.. kinda like ^^^ :agree

We played a goalie who had this weird neon orange head+mesh, it was sooo ugly. A nemesis. He kinda sucked tho, only made some easy saves. Oh well. =)

[saiber]

so yeh i remember reading on e-lacrosse that only 2 colors on the mesh were legal
and yeh my friends pretty stupid he was out for the rest of the season cause he got mad playing hockey and punched this guy in the helmet
so yeh
and i was thinkin to dye my head a weird color to grad atention seems like a good idea to me :agree

[nmlax22]

So can you die mesh two colors? I was thinkin navy blue with a red "bulls eye" in the middle (school colors) with sorta splash/fade on the head using the same colors and some white.

[saiber]

yeh thatd be cool

[KHSGoalie]

i bought one of the bacharach stars and stripes eclipses and put a sick blue at the scoop to black fade with one of the flags on the scoop visible. it was nice

[spenny]

mesh must be all one color

A.R. 18. The mesh weaving of a crosse must be of one color. Any attempt to mislead an opponent, such as painting a ball, etc., into the weaving is illegal. RULING: Unsportsmanlike conduct, three-minute non-releasable penalty.

[saiber]

but what if u have a target and its not misleading at all?
i have lots of people saying they have seen people with happy faces etc. on there mesh.
well i guess i wont dye my mesh
ohh well

[LatinBabe]

well.. i cannot say that rule is ever enforced here.. i see multi-colored mesh almost every game i'm at...

[saiber]

i know itd be so cool to have a target but i dont want the penalty...

[spenny]

katy, the rules may be different for Wlax, or maybe the refs dont know or care.

personally i think a keepers pocket should be a bright color something that keeps the shooters looking at it

[LatinBabe]

well.. its probably the dont care aspect. girls lax is so small in Tx that many of the refs do not want to discourage too many players from playing. not saying they arnt strict on safety or technical rules, but the area of the crosse is a bit vague come stick check time...

[nmlax22]

bah, i guess ill use a red mesh piece and navy sidewalls, shooters, etc. Then my stick would still be like a bulls eye since our uniforms are navy or white depending on home or away.

the great part is that'll work just as well

[NeMeSiS]

well dyeng is known to weakin heads, id imagine goalie heads especially, ( due to the fact iv never had my stick dyed) but yes i have heard of that happening to most sticks

[Stonewall35]

Not that I would do this, but what kind of container would you use in order to dye a goalie head? I personally would like to know what would fit vertically?

[spark_goalie]

i have never seen a good dye job on a goalie head

[OcLaxer22]

never heard of that.. maybe where you play...

Katy

No, hes right, it goes for every where/
