Talk:Lacrosse stick

Manufacturer Styles
Shouldn't the article say about how many different companys make different styles of sticks like the heads may have a different design or the shaft might be a square or a hexagon .--Racer38 21:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

History
Some words about the history are missing. (like how old sticks looked like) and when the first plastic stick came up.

Does anyone have anything about the transition from All wood sticks up until present day sticks?Darthjarek 07:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

'sometimes called a crosse'? how about 'properly called a crosse'?Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

'sometimes called a crosse'? Is this a Canadian/Quebecois term or a recent slang term? No one around Syracuse (one of the original strongholds of the sport) or the local Onondaga Reservation called it a "crosse" in the 70's or 80's. Agreed on wood to metal/plastic transition. This probably allowed the game to become widespread and should be more robustly discussed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.250.186.17 (talk) 21:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Article Sounds Like It Was Written By Stick Manufacturers
"Every lacrosse stick consists of two parts, a head and a handle. They are often purchased separately. Lacrosse heads and handles are manufactured by companies, including Warrior Lacrosse, Brine, Corp., STX, Harrow Sports, Gait/Debeer Lacrosse, and Onyx Lacrosse (formerly Shamrock Lacrosse)."

Often purchased seperately? Why would somebody write that except to sell gear with a greater mark-up. If there are no objections I am going to remove this reference and the list of commercial manufacturers. 71.231.121.77 (talk) 20:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Needs an update
The most glaring omissions from the article are the lack of historical background for the shape and design of lacrosse sticks (as well as when and how the modern stick took shape) as well as the lack of updates in terms of new technology and advances in production, such as the rise of the use of composites for lacrosse shafts.

Diversifying Article
Since there has been a lot of useful time spent explaining the functions of a men's lacrosse stick and its NCAA regulations, should we make a separate subheading for contemporary women's lacrosse heads so that just as much information can be given for a girl's lacrosse stick as it is given for a boys lacrosse stick?
