What brand of lacrosse ball and for what price?

Are looking for a good lacrosse balls?
Warrior, Brine and STX all make very good lacrosse balls. Balls for regular outdoor use are made out of hard rubber. The first time I got hit with a ball I was amazed at how hard it really was. (No wonder they call it a rock.) Plus the second time the ball bounces, it takes off in a crazy direction. So never let it bounce more than once.
Today they have several different types of quality lacrosse balls to choose from. They have outdoor (white), indoor soft (pink), and the limited bounce balls (orange).
To find a good ball you should probably buy a name brand. Avoid balls that are cracked or don’t bounce properly. You can buy a name brand lacrosse ball for $2-$3 individually, less if you buy them in bulk. You can also buy a professional ball for size and weight for around $20.
A good ball will last you for a couple of years. It’s good to have a bunch of balls so that they are harder to lose and so that you can practice shooting on an open goal. It may also be a good to write your first initial on the ball so you can take it home at the end of playing. You usually want to carry between 3 and 12 in your lacrosse bag and any given time because you never know when you might find an open net.
