Has anyone actually seen a document on the stringing guidelines for mesh in girls game? US lacrosse announces a new approval of mesh but with no guidelines. The traditional pocket has thirty different guidelines and pics you need to follow.
Is it you just need to see ball above side rail? Can we get rid of all the traditional picket guidelines as well?
I have seen nothing since initial announcement. But many companies are stringing them.
Again US Lacrosse a joke.
Please share if it is out there.
Implementation of this rule will be a nightmare. The basic idea was ok, but the loop holes and non-standardized criteria should make pre-game stick reviews a joke. They should drop the pre-game stick reviews. Most of the HS womens lax officials are sub-par to start with now add this subjective rule to the mix..........yikes!!!
Any and all lacrosse equipment made by manufactures are subjected to USLax and FIL testing. It is contracted and approved by a third party engineering company solely for this purpose. All the approvals are registered with and accepted by NCAA, US lacrosse and the trickle down to schools and tournaments adopting these standards. Any and all manufacturing companies are aware and know this. It is a much cleaner approval for the pre game than the mess of a an after market traditional strung head.
Huh???.......do you really think players purchase a manufacturers stick from a store and go and play. Most will re-string to their liking which now can be almost any type pocket/material as long as you can see the ball over the rail. And again, not to harp on the lack of knowledge that the HS officials will have during pre game stick checks.
