Gear Review: 20D Goalie Throne Mesh

By Lacrosse Playground | July 30, 2012 |
My first impressions of the mesh before I even opened the packaging was that it was very nice vibrantly colored not dulled like other wax treated mesh. The packaging was very professional and not just a piece of mesh in a sandwich bag. It was in packaging similar to what the kits from STX and Warrior are packaged in. Read More...

Glow In The Dark Pocket

Keep tabs on your throwing buddy in the dark with Glow Mesh. The secret coating that Frankie's Custom Lax created from scratch, is very unique in the way it glows so bright in the dark. The coating also helps create a harder mesh. And best of all it adds a waterproof and grip texture just as if it were coated with wax. Read More...

Sadka Lacrosse Water Resistant Mesh

By Lacrosse Playground | June 12, 2012 |
This is a new wax mesh that is coming out (not from me, I don't benefit in any way from this getting popular). It's called Sadka mesh. They don't have much publicity yet, but they have come out with an amazing wax mesh product. This mesh almost immediately provides the feel and consistency of broken in hard mesh that everyone loves, but with a unique wax coating that prevents bagging and other inconsistencies associated with playing in wet conditions.

Stringing Soft Mesh

By Lacrosse Playground | June 7, 2012 |
Here’s another Reebok 10K, but with Jimalax Soft Mesh this time. With summer ball coming soon, there are a number of players that will be switching to soft mesh since rain is not an issue. Soft mesh pockets provide the same feel as heavily broken in hard mesh, but they are game ready almost immediately after stringing thanks to a short break-in period. Read More...

StickWorkz: Reebok 10K w/ Jimalax Semi-Hard Mesh

By Lacrosse Playground | June 4, 2012 |
The head I strung is a Reebok 10K with Jimalax semi-hard mesh and all Jimalax materials. My goal was to string a pocket that almost anyone could use, without adjusting their throwing too much. It has a super smooth release with a bit of a snap, but it has phenomenal hold so you can really get some torque on shots. Read More...
