baby oil works well and VERY hot water ( punch punch punch) it takes some effort. also some mesh ( company ie:warrior, brine, stx) mesh SUCKS...order mesh from jimalax.com its always a good buy.....

soak the mesh in hot water and fabric softener overnight. Then when it is still wet, put weights in it (or big rocks)

I have brothers that play baseball, so yes, I do think lax players will.

Goalie Mesh Tip:
From the outside of the mesh -- the back side -- take a screwdriver and weave it through the center of the mesh (where you want the deepest part of the pocket). Twist the screwdriver clockwise until you can't twist it anymore; careful not to break anything. Then twist the opposite direction -- counterclockwise; you can pull on the screwdriver from the back; carefully.
Let us know if this works for you... :idea:

i dont even get how that would work it would be just twisting in the mesh and not do any thing

By twisting it that much, it forces it to stretch.

hey, a lot of people had a diferent passion when they were younger. plus, if you dont have one, you can go to your neighbors house and steal theirs from their son, forcing them to play lax because they dont have a bat anymore.

take the mesh and put it in warm but not too hot water make sure you get both sides wet, and then take shampoo (conditioner works better) and rub it in where you want the pocket and put on your glove and pound pound pound, and then get in goal and take some shots, i did this with my nemy and i felt the ball hit the top of the head when i threw but once the mesh hardened it was normal
