i have woods right behind my goal, so basically if i miss, the balls pretty much gone. I lose about one ball per day, so 7 balls a week. :whyme: :dummy:

1-4, but occasionally I'll find a few that are dislogded somewhere in my basement.

During the season, I would lose a ton of balls in clearing drills to the bushes around our fields. I spent a fair bit of cash reimbursing the team ball bag.

our coaches made us run five sprints extra sprints in addition to our normally scheduled sprints for every ball we lost

C'mon we went over this. Three comes after two. Then there's four and five...
Just kidding. I lose about two a week because there are bushes behind my goal and occasionally I'll lose one in the creek to the right of my goal. It's really annoying because it sucks up anything that touches it.

I used to lose a ton... then I stopped bringing balls to practices/games. Now, just in my backyard, I might lose one or two a week.

Well this week I lost like two playing long catch with my brother and one throwing it in the river but usually I don't lose any because I only throw at the wall since my goal is at my friend's house.

During the season I lose about 2 a week. And in the offseason (not counting winter) a few a month if I'm lucky.

i shoot at my garage and whenever i miss the ball goes into the woods...so there must be like 20 balls in a wooded thicket from the past 2 years

I shoot at my goal and the ball usually goes up over this huge hill thing and I'm to lazy to get them most of the time. I'd say about 4 a week, but I eventually find them again.

It depends on how many I have. I buy 12 and lose about 2 a day (I practice a lot) until I have 2 left. Then they last me about a week or so each.

my lax balls like dissapear in the woods when i miss a shot
when i go look for them it takes like 10-15 min. of my time just to find one out of like ten! then for some reason on saturdays we (myself and my brother) find all of them!

I don't have a lot of woods around my house so if I miss, I can just get the ball back. Some HUGE bushes just grew in my backyard so if I wanted to get all technical i probably lost like 0.1 balls per week but now lose around 0.25 balls per week with the bushes.

my brother and i together probably lose 4 or 5 in a week. theres ivy and stuff all around the back of the goal and that stuff swallows balls and never gives em back. also if we miss the cage it goes over a fence and ends up hitting one of the multiple college houses and those never come back.

Between windows bushes woods and going down the street and magicaly disapering I loose like 5 a week and find them like a month later.

between my neighbor's woods (can't spend too much time looking, just have to hope it's obvious) my woods, and the combination of very thick ground coverage plants(like can't see the ground)+a huge bush with thorns on it, at least 4 a week. I'm trying to convince my parents to take the bush out anyway, on the grounds that it's ugly.

i lose just about 0 since i dont have enough income to waste buying new balls everytime i lose them but i play wall ball off my elementary school and when i go shooting i do it in these tennis courts near my house

i lose like 3-4 even tho i have a backstop, my nets so full of holes that i end up ripping the backstop. Also, so many times ill hit the crossbar or sides and the balls just go flying over the fence

i lose like 5 a week, i play wall ball like every day and theres this huge bush behing the wall, a big ditch to the left, and a giant pine tree to the left so basiclly i usually find it in the pine and the ditch but after the bush swallows one its basicly gone.

i lose one a week basically. Then when i run out i don't have any till either i A.) Go look for them, and fight off the neighbors really mean dog, B.) 'borrow' some from my friend (has like 8 buckets of them) or C.) Stop being a bum and go buy some.

we have a ton of like wildflower overgrowth around my yard...and if you let a ball get past you you better break out the clippers cuz it's a jungle back there.

i hate bushes. 'nuff said

I've lost about 7 in the past week. I finally decided to purchase a backstop, hopefully it's worth the couple days i worked to pay for it. Now I won't have to chase and lose so many balls.

1-4, I always shoot them into my neighbors backyard! I get most of them back by hopping the fence, but on occasion I don't find a couple.

Yea I never lose balls, because behind my house is a huge field and so at the end of the day when I go hunting them up and can't find any I just give up. But then at the end of each week the grass cutting people when they cut the grass and find my lost balls they just throw them back in my yard.

Probably 1-2 a week. I go through a lot.

Even though I have a backstop behind my goal I still lose a decent amount. They hit off the crossbar and go to a place far far away... Or my forest which is basically all rocks so it bounces around with no chance of discovery.

I got a 6 pack last week and lost them all in about 3 days so today i searched fr lacrosse balls for like an hour. I jumped some fences hacked down some bushes and found 9. Ill proabbaly lose that in a week or so though..... But i probably loose maybe 4 a week =[

I usually lose around 3. I mostly play wall ball. But sometimes I'll rip shots and some will go off target.

laxkay841
07-08-2006, 07:40 PM
It depends.

If I miss and chase down my shot immediately, I can usually find them. But if I go back a few days later and try to find them...yeah never can.
My neighbor's bushes eat my lacrosse balls all the time, it pisses me off. The flowers and bushes in our yard used to...but after I stomped the majority of the tall ones down last season, my mom kinda gave up on having lush gardens haha.

So, I maybe lose one or two a month.

Riot

I just lost 3 today in under 30 minutes. I hadn't shot in awhile because of my finger and I was aiming for top corners. Kind of dumb. I actually shot one really hard and it hit the top bar and bounced up and got stuck on my neighbors roof.
