All about lacrosse heads

Why are lacrosse heads so important?
Try driving a car without a steering wheel and you will quickly realize it you are missing an important element. Likewise a great lacrosse head is the wheel that drives your game and is vital to excellent performance. Some of the greatest lacrosse players have the best sticks. There are two parts to a lacrosse stick, the head and the shaft. Both should be durable and lasting, but you have a lot more options to choose from with the first part.
High quality lacrosse heads allows you to cradle, pass and shoot even better. Most attack men want heads with a narrow base. (Not to narrow or it is illegal.) This gives them more control over their shooting and makes it harder for them to lose the ball when they are cradling. Defensemen want heads that are a little wider. This enables them to scoop ground balls better and intercept passes.
Most players customize their sticks in one way or another. They can dye their head or custom string their pockets. (For more information on pockets click here.) This makes each lacrosse head unique to the needs of its owner. Is this a great game or what?
The best lacrosse heads give you improved performance & control and should be made of lightweight yet durable materials. These heads consist of a leathers or a nylon mesh forming the lacrosse pocket and a plastic or wooden loop. There are different quality manufactures which include Brine, STX, Warrior, deBeer and several others. Quality and durability are most important.
