The New East Coast Dyes Mirage Lacrosse Head

Oct 26, 2016
The new East Coast Dyes Mirage lacrosse head is a long anticipated, elite level offensive head that was designed by one of the biggest names in advanced stringing, East Coast Dyes.  Why is the East Coast Dyes Mirage lacrosse head so hyped up?  Lets take a look. Contrary to most people’s belief that East Coast Dyes is a proponent of mid-high pockets, the East Coast Dyes Mirage lacrosse head was specifically set up for middle to mid-low pocket placement.  As our stringing gurus will tell you, that mid-low is the new favorite of on-the-run middies and certainly the go to for attack-man doing work from the GLE or the X.  Looking at the sidewall and string hole setup, the arc of the curvature offsetting the head starts very early and down towards the throat.  Basically the curve starts right where the pocket begins.  This allows for the maximum depth possible, about 1 ½ inches up from the throat and up towards the middle of the head.

The new East Coast Dyes Mirage lacrosse head strikes us as the epitome of what an elite offensive weapon should be.  Simple, stiff, accurate, and durable.   We were whipping sharp passes around with a East Coast Dyes semi-soft hero mesh pocket that really behaved like it was strung mid-high for control, but behaved mid-low with one hand and two-handed cradling.  Shots came out quick and hot.  This head weighs in almost at NOZ levels so it is poised to compete with the elite class offensive heads on the market right out of the box.
