Calling all NS Lax Bros...

I'm taking up lacrosse, and I need to buy gear. Right now I'm just looking for a stick and as the season starts I'll buy pads etc. I don't really know anything about lax gear, so if you knowledgeable NSers could point me in the right direction it would be great.

I don't think lacrosse has anything to do with whether or not someone is a douchebag, there's plenty of douchebags in all other sports and all other parts of society. I play lacrosse and have always thought that 'lax bros' were non-existant....theyre just faggots.

They do break (as you can see) but I honestly don't care. I have grown to love them and only buy warrior heads. Total personal preference.

See if you can try out some friends backup sticks to get the feel of different options without wasting any money.

I'm a lax player, and I enjoy the sport and the people I play with. But people who embrace the sport as a lifestyle piss me off. When I went back east for some recruiting camps there were some really chill people I met, some are on NS. Some of the kids though fucking pissed me off.

My observation is that most "lax bros" are flid's or are from maryland

if you're playing defense i would recommend the brine e3 head if you can find one. and for the shaft, i would go with a warrior kryptolytle or a kryptopro.

lax bros doesnt mean they are good or not..it simply means that they are cocky/ballsy enough to wear their lax shit everywhere they go. People need to stop stereotyping them into lacrosse because most of the players arent like that

The krypto pro is the lightest and most reliable shaft you can buy. Its all I use

Heres the gear I recommend: (I play high school varsity)

helmet: pro 7 (looks badass too)
gloves: mac daddys, kings, nike elites
armpads: k18 or anything really, the size depends on the position you play
shoulderpads: cells, k18s, anything

you should also get some rib pads if your going to be playing attack or middie cause shit hurts

You should research some lacrosse heads online before you but one because theres a lot of different types. Heres some factors that affect what type of head you should get: strength, width, and weight. This all changes depending on what position and level that you are playing. Just buy the lightest shaft you can find, probably a warrior krypto pro diamond or some shit. Good luck man

rib pads are for pussies...our team is required to cut our shoulder pads off and take of the bicep guards...yes, its pretty stupid and it hurts really bad when you get slashed in shoulder, but you get used to it and it makes you tougher
