Sad, sad day

did you make the kid do push-ups at least. Stupid seventh graders breaking sticks and the like. Come to think of it, i would kick him off the team.

No, but now that you mention it, I think they'll all run until I feel better at practice today.

You could replace your shotgun with a highwall since they're nearly identical.

Um, No. Not remotely similar.

My favorite stick was a Brine SL4 strung with double diamonds by a Tuscarora Indian that played for our team when I was in the Army. I couldn't believe the difference in that pocket. It shattered on day inpractice as I was shooting and a D-man chaecked my stick. I tried to resurrect the pockt, but I guess some things are just meant to stay dead. I was inconsoleable.

I just sprained my ankle... It was my favorite one.

My brine titanium power-grip shaft, which I've had since sophomore year of High School, is finally retired. The thing is rediculously bowed out and has more dents and dings in it than I could even count. I recently tried to drill a new hole in it when I heard a long and drawn and sigh, followed by a broken power-drill and no room left for new holes. Too bad...

Benji, it sounds to me like you have intentionally cambered your handle to gain an advantage and you are in the box for 3 minutes - non-releaseable. And the stick is out of the game!! Cheater.

I've never really understood that part of the rulebook! Cradling a bent stick is not easy, and it's hard to see how it's giving someone an advantage. Can you throw that much harder? Protect your stick from the D man because it conforms to your body? Aha!! THAT's why your shaft is bowed OUT!

Haha, I wisj there was some advantage to it... besides making throwing/cradling awkward, it just feels funny. Honesty I think an official would just feel sorry for me if he checked that shaft.
