Improve Your Skills with Cradlebaby

Cradlebaby

If you’re like me, you practice lacrosse in the house. Despite being told not to, you continue to practice new things, not knowing whether or not it will work out for you. Sometimes things go great, you pull off something cool and you move on to the next one. Other times, well, you end up breaking something.

To prevent this from happening, the Cradlebaby was invented.

According to the creators, Cradlebaby is “a lacrosse practice ball designed to help kids of all ages and skills improve their lacrosse game. Specifically, to improve their cradling, dodges, fakes and shots by allowing them to practice indoors or out, all the time. The Cradlebaby training ball is a regulation lax ball tethered to a player’s stick so that they can play with it without breaking windows, lamps, etc.”

The Cradlebaby attaches to the head of the lacrosse stick, while being permanently attached to the ball. This makes the ball feel just like a normal lacrosse ball when practicing, but adds the security of knowing you won’t lose the ball somewhere or break anything.

Whether you’re practicing indoors or outdoors, this is a sweet little practice tool. For more information on the Cradlebaby, or to pick one up today for only $15.00, head over to http://www.laxcb.com.

Easton Stealth Core Lacrosse Head

One of Easton’s more popular products as of late has been the Easton Stealth Core lacrosse head. Released in 2012, the Stealth Core head is one of the higher end lacrosse heads released by Easton.

The Easton Stealth Core head comes packed with some powerful technology and great features. First, it features Easton’s patented Reflex technology. This is going to help provide increased velocity on your shots, and you can’t argue with that. You’re also going to see that the Stealth Core head has the same adjustability and in-game tuning ability as the Stealth HS head – without the adjustable pinch.

Easton’s Stealth Core head meets universal specifications, or in other words, it is legal for use at all levels of play.

The Stealth Core lacrosse head is available in both strung and unstrung options. The factory strung option from Easton will take some breaking in, but it’s not a bad way to go if you don’t want to string your own head. The weight on the new Stealth Core lacrosse head is only 5.3 oz or 151g when you buy it unstrung.

You have two color options when picking up the Stealth Core head, black and white. Both colors feature some nice yellow accents, but the yellow pops a lot more on the black head.

Reebok 11K Lacrosse Head

Introduced in late 2012, Reebok brought to the market the new Reebok 11K lacrosse head. Available in black and white, and both strung and unstrung, the Reebok 11K head is sure to please fans of Reebok Lacrosse.

The Reebok 11K head improved over its predecessors by shedding some weight. The weight reduction, however, will not decrease the stiffness or durability of the head. Reebok was able to eliminate weight from the head by using a unique throat and side wall design which eliminates extra unnecessary material.

This new head has also been designed with the shooter in mind. The channeled or pinched design is perfect for accuracy, while the pro-offset provides the optimum load when shooting. Additionally, it’s features are going to help with ball protection and control.

For those who string their own heads, the Reebok 11K’s rigid sidewall and scoop have been optimized for a large number of stringing options.

Reebok’s new 11K head has been designed to meet not only NCAA specifications, but NFHS regulations as well.

The Reebok 11K unstrung lacrosse head retails for $89.99, and as previously mentioned, will be available in both black and white. The Reebok 11K strung head retails for $99.99 and is also available in black and white. Both items are currently available and can be purchased at your local lacrosse store.

Brine / Cascade Lacrosse Starter Package
Brine / Cascade Lacrosse Starter Package

As many of us already know, lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports across the United States. With that new interest, comes an increase in people shopping for lacrosse equipment. While lacrosse can be expensive, it’s not quite as expensive as hockey – which makes the sport a good alternative.

Fortunately, getting started in lacrosse has never been easier. Thanks to the lacrosse starter packages, offered by retailers such as Com Lax, you can pick up all the lacrosse equipment required to play at a low cost.

The first package that we want to highlight is from Maverick and Cascade. Starting with your head, and one of the most important protective pieces, is a CLH2 SPR helmet from Cascade. The helmet comes in an assortment of colors that you can choose from, including black, white, red, and blue. The shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves and stick are all courtesy of Maverick, coming from their Bad Boy series.

The second package will provide the same pieces as the first, but most will be by different equipment manufacturers. The helmet option will be the same as above, the Cascade CLH2 SPR. Shoulder pads, elbow pads and gloves will all come from Brine and their Uprising series. The stick you’ll get in this package will be a Warrior Outlaw lacrosse stick.

Both lacrosse starter packages offer great products, and are a great way to get a new and younger player into the game at an affordable cost. At only $159.99 for either package at Com Lax, you can be on your way to getting your young one into one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S.
