  • Dr. Cool recovery wrap review

    Dr Cool ice recovery wrapsDr Cool ice recovery wraps

    Getting the opportunity to personally review the Dr. Cool Recovery wraps was a very exciting moment. Not only was I getting the chance to test a great product, I was getting a chance to finally escape the hassles of my regular icing routine.

    When I first saw the Dr. Cool recovery wrap I thought that it looked awesome. And wouldn’t you know it; I immediately had an opportunity to run a test trial when I hurt my ankle in a pickup game. Lucky me, I guess.

    Originally I did what I use to do which was grab a zip lock bag and fill it full of ice. This way, I got the exciting challenge of figuring out a way to balance the bag of ice on my ankle for as long as possible. I felt like I should be on a T.V. game show trying some impossible stunt because balancing that bag of ice was very difficult.

    • 2 broken windows : $400
    • 2 curtain rails : $120
    • 1 hole in the plaster : $100
    • Total: $620.00

    That’s list of things I broke at my parents’ house from errant lacrosse balls while playing inside.

    When the Cradlebaby team said they were sending one through for review, the first person I told was my mother. She just laughed, "Where were they when you were in juniors?" she quipped, no doubt reliving the hip pocket pain from my trail of destruction.

  • SISU mouth guard review
    October 2, 2014
    Say no to old style mouth guards.Say no to old style mouth guards.

    I was recently given the opportunity to test out one of SISU’s (http://www.sisuguard.com/) new mouth guards. I’d gotten word that one was on the way and literally the next day an “Aero” (http://www.sisuguard.com/aero-guard/) arrived on my doorstep.

    I’ll tell you now that I was really looking forward to reviewing a mouth guard. I have worn a mouth guard all my life in Lacrosse but I have yet to be impressed.

  • Akando Sports Bag - Get Rid of Lacrosse Gear Odors

    Akando Sports Bag - deodorise your lacrosse gearAkando Sports Bag - deodorise your lacrosse gear

    Lacrosse gear stinks. You walk into the locker room, it stinks. You open your gear bag, it stinks. You walk out with your team mates, they stink. You stand next to your opponent, they stink. It's one of the not-so-great parts about lacrosse, and everyone just puts up with it because they believe nothing can be done about it. I mean, seriously, have you ever met anyone with lacrosse gear that doesn't smell? Well I have. Me.

    No my lacrosse gear isn't new. In fact it's a couple of seasons old. Yes, I play a couple of times a week. The secret is that I use an Akando Sports Bag.

  • What's the best lacrosse gear for you?

    Years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I used to play long stick. My setup was a Brine Edge on an F15 and it worked well. The Edge isn't that accurate, but it has a wide, flat scoop which just sucked up ground balls.

    One season I decided to play short stick midfield, so I put the Edge on a short pole and never looked back. I was crap at defence anyway! My game was around ground balls, faceoff wings, transition and good skills so the switch wasn't too difficult.

    A couple of seasons later, I broke my last Edge so I had to buy a new one. I considered myself a bit of a goal scorer by then so I asked our best attacker what head I should buy. He recommended an Evo and so I bought it. He strung up an awesome pocket which held well and was very accurate.

    The first training session went fine. I was catching and throwing well, but then we got into ground balls. I could not pick up a ground ball to save myself. The tip of my Evo was pointy and had a big lip on the back, whereas my Edge was completely flat and had no lip. This difference completely destroyed my strength: ground balls.
