Buying a new lacrosse chest pad

It’s a common thing said about lacrosse goal keepers, they’re all a bit crazy. Who in their right mind would stand in front of a net while people throw rocks at them at around 150mph? It’s madness! It takes a certain breed of person to stand in the cage. They are a breed unto themselves.

Our club keeper told us he’s going to get a new lacrosse chest pad a while back. That sort of statement is just asking for trouble! One of the guys quipped “Why bother, the ball never hits you anyway!” Another “It’ll just get in the way when you get the ball out of the cage!” This went on for the rest of the session.

Lacrosse head review: Warrior Cobra X

The groundbreaking Warrior Cobra X lacrosse head (click here for the review) has been constructed with stiffness and ball control in mind with its molded throat structure. The inherent rigidity in the neck and throat areas of the head emphasizes toughness and makes it possible for the lightweight style of the sidewalls. For improved ball retention and handling, the head has been constructed with a raised ballstop.

For that eye catching look, Warrior have constructed this lax head with 2-tone colors. This lax head has been created with attack players in mind. It is also developed to meet all specifications of the NFHS and the NCAA.
