Nike Lacrosse Tip: Stick Grip Suggestions To Beginners
Proper hand grip is essential in lacrosse. Many beginners hold the stick incorrectly. The back of the stick should go where your palm meets your fingers, NOT in the middle of your palm. This enables you to stick your thumb on the side of your stick, making your wrist bend away from your body. This allows you to cradle the ball and helps your throwing accuracy.
We open our camp at the Florida Atlantic with correcting flaws in player’s grip and form. Ball handling and throwing accuracy are crucial to your success.
