$40-$70 Titanium Cage LSH

I'm not very familiar with Lacrosse, so just out of curiosity what type of ball do they use? Is it even comparable to a baseball going 90+ MPH and hitting you in the head? If not, why would you even consider wearing such?

From WikiAnswers:

"A fast shot in lacrosse, usually a sidearm crank, can travel between 100 and 110mph. Average speeds are in the 80-100mph range."


Fast enough for you?

Okay, I'm bored.

A lacrosse ball is the solid rubber ball that is used to play lacrosse. It is usually between 7.75 and 8 inches in circumference (about 2.5 inches in diameter) and weighs between 5 and 5.25 ounces.

A baseball is generally between 9 and 9¼ inches in circumference (about 2.9 to 2.9 inches in diameter) and 5 ounces in weight.

For you physics buffs

5oz lacrosse ball @ 110mph = 126.40 foot-pound Kinetic Energy
5oz baseball @ 95mph = 94.28 foot-pound Kinetic Energy

That's why I never played lacrosse - I couldn't hit the damn googly! Wait a minute....that's cricket - or Seinfeld.

Wise a** vs. thin skin ...always a bad mix.
