Powell Brothers in legal war With Warrior Lacrosse

[byualum]

Keep in mind that e-lacrosse employs the Powells, so it behooves them to write the Powells in a favorable light.

Sure...but I bet a lot of people view e-lacrosse as an unbiased source of lacrosse news and that simply is not the case.

I coach 23 7th-graders...they all know about Warrior, only about half know who the Powells are.

..."behooves" is a cool word.

Yeah, but do they know what USLIA.com is?

My kids?? Yeah they know, and they give me a hard time about playing at BYU but always referring to the way CSU plays (we took the team to the CU/CSU game - easy point of reference).

if you ask a young kid just starting to play lacrosse which equipment he'd wear, "Warrior or Brine?", how many kids do you know will say WARRIOR! The brand name works wonders for that company.

If marketing can convince people to pay $2 to buy one brand of bottled tap water over another, then marketing can convince them that one stick is superior to another, even if it isn't.

but they probably also don't know about the crapola product warrior produced in the pre-powell-era. Anyone still have a warrior diablo?

Hey, the Diablo is what started it all! First curved head ever. You can thank one Mr. Flip Naumburg for that . . .

[Andy Sharp]

I am sitting in the RIP home office right now, in the presence of the patent of infamy, for the first curved head, the Warrior Cobra. Even if it was a first step, it set a legal precedent and apparently you might not see a head or two on the market anymore, now that the lawyers are taking action.

Alex, K-Train says, "you've been punked".

[onpoint]

You can tell "K-Train," you've been fattened . . . I forgot that it was the Cobra, not the Diablo

the diablo was the one that offset but never leveled out. Kinda just bent backwards, made scooping impossible. hands down worst piece of lacrosse equipment ever created.

ummm, nope. That was the scorpion. That one disappeared very quickly. You could set one up to throw decently and it suited certain styles of players.....but it was impossible to have a pocket of any depth and still be legal.

Diablo was a curved head....basically generation 2 of Cobra. Very different than the Cobra....much straighter sidewalls, full 2 inch sidewall, pinched shape (well, when compared to the Cobra, anyway...). There were some problems with how tightly warrior made them in terms of the rules....I can remember having to cut the ball stop down in thickness to make the head legal after a 3 min call for the head being too short from tip of scroop to top of ball stop.

i stand corrected. the scorpion is the worst piece of lacrosse equipment ever made.
