[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's an illegal stick?[/quote]

It means the pocket is deeper than regulation, and not allowed in girls lacrosse because it gives an unfair advantage. A deeper pocket means it’s much easier to keep in your stick,for one thing. Sticks are checked at the beginning of the game so if 4 girls had illegal pockets in one short half it was intentionally done most likely - you can rig it to appear legal for the ref check and then punch it back to be illegal again.[/quote]

You clearly don’t understand how stuck checks for girls work.  The refs actually put a ball in the pocket for a stick check. A pocket that is legal at the beginning of a game can, especially in rain, become stretched out and no longer be legal later in the game.  It’s nit that unusual nor is it that big of a deal.  Plus you are talking about a tiny difference. The pockets weren’t egregious just slightly too deep.  I have no connection to Visi by the way. [/quote]

And girls don’t “punch” their strings either - at least not girls who know what they are doing. That’s not how you work the strings in a girls stick. [/quote]

Explain all you want but it smacks of cheating either way when four sticks were illegal in one half.  And the point earlier about those girls posing with the illegal sticks post game just shows they were proud of flaunting the rules.[/quote]

Given weather conditions, it just smacks of science. [/quote]

Wouldn't the Holton sticks be the same way too?  Why were the illegal sticks all Visi's?  Why did Visi have an illegal stick in the game against Stone Ridge on Saturday, when it was sunny and in the 90's?[/quote]
