Three Tips To Help Win The Draw In Lacrosse

1. Get Your Hand As Close As You Can To The Plastic

   Getting your hand closer to the plastic of the head will give you the best control and power under the ball.

2. Keep Your Eyes On the Ref

   Looking at the Referee allows you to see when she is about to blow the whistle. This can give you a jump start on your opponent.

3. Lower Your Butt End Under The Height Of The Head

   To gain more leverage and a quicker release, Taylor suggests lowering the butt end of your stick under the top. Recently, the NCAA rules have changed to require the stick to be parallel to the line. We would check with your league to be sure, but if you are following NCAA rules, we suggest getting into a similar position by punching the butt end down as soon as the whistle blows to get the advantage.
