4. YOU SHOULD MAKE A NEW PRODUCT OR CHANGE AN EXISTING ONE.
Information from players like you is the basis of our product development and the key to constantly pushing the limits of design and performance. Please email your ideas to customerservice@warriorlacrosse.com or fax to (586) 978-7744 (attn: New Product Idea).

Your opinion is how we know what needs improvement, what we are missing, and what will lead you to be the next game-breaker. Because corner ripping, ankle-breaking, bone-crushing hits, ridiculous takeaways, ground ball vacuums, and walls in the cage is what we're all about. Your ideas will be closely considered and we will contact you if more information is needed. Thank you for supporting Warrior and please give us further input in the future. Good luck this season.

5. SEND ME SOMETHING FOR FREE!
While we wish that every request like yours could be rewarded with a Helix or Razer Pro, an Amonte, Superflys, etc., it would be unfair to the competition if everybody could have the Warrior advantage for free! There wouldn't be any corner ripping, ankle-breaking, bone-crushing hits, ridiculous takeaways, ground ball vacuums, and walls in the cage because the competition would become too fierce! So to make sure you stay ahead of the game, get to the nearest Warrior dealer and score yourself the Warrior advantage. Thank you for supporting Warrior and please give us further feedback in the future.

6. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE TO BUY?
Your best bet is to visit a local retailer and try on the specific product to determine what fits you best. There are too many variations in players to say exactly what should fit. A serviceable breakdown is: Large for high school, Medium for middle school, Small for elementary school, and Extra Small for somebody really tiny. Thank you for supporting Warrior and good luck this season.

7. WHICH KIND OF MESH SHOULD I USE?

Soft Mesh

  • Pro: No time necessary for breaking in. Very good feel and hold. Easily adjustable even after breaking in.
  • Con: Can "bag out." Slower release and shot speed. Doesn't stand up well to weather.
  • Typical Age: beginners, youth players

Players Pocket (a.k.a. Hard Mesh)

  • Pro: Extremely consistent. Quicker release and shot than soft mesh. Good feel and hold. Stands up to weather better than soft mesh.
  • Con: Need to break in. If not properly cared for after getting wet or dirty, it will shrink up and could become unusable.
  • Typical Age: Middle school (intermediate) and above

Six Diamond Mesh

  • Pro: Feel and hold comparable to traditional. Quick release. Stands up to weather very well.
  • Con: Takes time to break in. Doesn't throw as consistently as soft or hard mesh.
  • Typical Age: Middle school (intermediate) and above

Thank you for supporting Warrior and good luck this season.

9. WHY IS ALUMINUM NOT UNDER WARRANTY?
We understand your plight, this happens to lacrosse players and parents everywhere, and we hope the following information will help and give you some insight into why our warranty does not cover Aluminum 2000 handles.

Aluminum is sold as the standard handle on complete sticks by all lacrosse manufacturers for two reasons:

(1) it is the most inexpensive metal alloy to make handles out of, keeping the price of a complete stick more reasonable; and (2) complete sticks are usually purchased by players that are young or play at a relatively low-impact skill level. Aluminum handles are NOT meant to stand up to the wear and tear of lacrosse from early-high school on (this is an approximation and varies from player to player).

Across the board, all lacrosse manufacturers' aluminum handles are extremely susceptible to breakage and denting (ESPECIALLY defensive shafts) because they are intended more for training purposes or beginners than high-impact play.

For these reasons, Warrior Lacrosse manufactures an entire line of stronger Alloy and Titanium handles ... to offer each player a shaft that will stand up to his/her game. FYI: The greater the demand of a handle, the higher performance it must produce, the more expensive the materials are, and the pricier the shaft will be...hence a 1-Year Warranty.

10. DO YOU MAKE EQUIPMENT IN EXTRA LARGE?
Information from players is the basis of our product development and the key to constantly pushing the limits of design and performance. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you - server difficulties associated with moving headquarters.

I absolutely understand your need for XL protection, but the fact of the matter is: the great majority of lacrosse players are in high school and below and don't require XL equipment sizing. While we'd love to provide for each individual equipment request, financially it isn't reasonable to produce the (relatively) negligible additional XL quantities. I guess it's the nature of the beast - we're all thrilled about the growth of the game, but the increasing numbers are significantly upping the ante for manufacturers. By producing XL in the necessary quantities (that we produce other sizes in), we could end up sitting on outdated inventory for 2-3 seasons.

Best of luck finding something that fits. Thank you for supporting Warrior and please give us further input in the future.
Good luck this season.

11. MY PRODUCT IS BACKORDERED. WHEN WILL I GET IT?
Due to the high demand of several Warrior products, we cannot maintain stock of certain items. Our commitment to you is that weâll do our best keeping the shelves stocked and work overtime to ship backordered items as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and support of Warrior. Please call Customer Service if you have additional questions and good luck this season.
