The Mesh-Traditional Debate Rages On

The debate rages on! If traditional is better than mesh, why don’t more people use it? No one seems to actually prefer mesh pockets but 99% of players use them. How can you explain this? People will do anything for an edge, even use traditional. We can’t be that lazy!

The debate rages on! If traditional is so much better than mesh, as most seem to agree, why don’t more people use it? No one seems to actually prefer mesh pockets but 99% of players use them. How can you explain this? People will do anything for an edge and I would not rule out the use of traditional from that number. We can’t be that lazy!

I’m a traditional enthusiast myself, although I have had numerous run-ins with mesh, some of them pretty good.  Our last Hot Pot of Lax covered this very topic briefly and the comments on the post were more interesting than almost any comment thread on the internet.  The comments on my very own facebook page were equally interesting.  So I’ve posted them below.  Maybe this will bring out the real mesh enthusiasts… because we know where the old guys stand now!  Also, someone needs to explain the first paragraph to me.  It just doesn’t make any sense…

The History of Multicolor Mesh: A Blue Collar Timeline

The following is the story behind the history of multicolor mesh, told in coordination with BC Lax co-owner Tim Weston. Blue Collar Lax is confident that multicolor Marc Mesh was the spark that led to all of the multicolor lacrosse heads we see today. They note, before Marc Mesh came out with multicolored netting there was only solid color stick heads offered by the manufacturers. Around 2010, a few manufacturers came out with some basic multicolor designs and they were obviously successful as we saw over half the heads available on the wall of a lacrosse store were multicolored by 2011.
