Los Angeles, CA.; February 7, 2015; StringKing Lacrosse is proud to announce the release of Grizzly Mesh™. A 12-diamond, ultra-light goalie mesh, Grizzly Mesh™ is designed and engineered to help goalies make more saves, surrender fewer rebounds and throw sharper outlets.
“We waited on making goalie mesh for so long because we wanted to create something special,” said StringKing Co-founder and President Jake McCampbell. “To make a game-changing goalie mesh, we focused on three main attributes: weight, rebound control and consistency.”
Weighing only 83 grams, Grizzly Mesh is the lightest goalie mesh ever created. More than 30 grams lighter than other goalie meshes on the market, Grizzly Mesh significantly reduces the overall weight of the goalie’s stick, making their hands faster so they can make more saves. New FlexLite™ fibers not only reduce the overall weight of the mesh, but also create a controlled horizontal stretch designed to absorb the impact of the ball and help it die in the pocket.
A new knitting pattern creates a deep, channeled pocket that allows goalies to throw outlet passes with more accuracy and consistency than ever before, and like all StringKing products, Grizzly Mesh™ is made with all-weather materials, ensuring that the pocket will not stretch, shrink or change over time regardless of conditions.
“As a former goalie, I take a lot of pride in our goalie mesh,” added McCampbell. “We chose the name GRIZZLY because it’s representative of the way the position should be played—big and aggressive. You don’t have to be a big person to be big in the net, and we hope Grizzly Mesh™ inspires that attitude.”
StringKing Grizzly Mesh™ is now available online and at local lacrosse retailers for $39.99. To learn more about Grizzly Mesh™ as well as where to buy, visit StringKingLacrosse.com
