Descriptive Essay: The Physics Of The Lacrosse Stick

Improved Essays
I had the lacrosse stick since I was eight. It’s a silver stick, with a white head, and white/yellow stringing. It’s laced up with white grip tape that helps me pass and shoot. It was at about a quarter to two when we started strapping up for our last game of the day, but we were facing Summit.
Summit had at least 20 players while we had eleven. At the start of the fourth quarter 2-0 Summit. We won the face-off and set up our offense. I started moving around and v-cutting, I got open and called “Here here here, I’m open”. I caught the ball, did a spin move, and then passed it to a cutting teammate and got an assist. My stick has three shooting strings and a pocket that is deeper than most people’s sticks, since I’m an attackman I hold the ball
