Lacrosse Stick Check | Paul Rabil

When I was 12 years old, I was given my first stick. My first play was a turnover. Now, I play lacrosse for the New York Lizards and Team USA.
Every Wednesday, I'll drop a new video, and on Friday, I'll answer your comments with an all-new #ASKPAUL.

[@scottmazzotta3243]

#askpaul I've recently had an ACL injury which has had an effect on my confidence. Have you ever had a major injury which you have had to overcome? Any tips to get some confidence back?

[@rocklobster7750]

Lonetti Outdoors same happened to me! the best thing was wall ball/rebounder

[@wyattkasserman4743]

That was really helpful thank you

[@jessieguerrero9466]

#askpaul have you ever been penalized for an illegal stick?

[@hyxls2543]

Jessie Guerrero no

[@adamsloan1037]

[@sethbourque5314]

Jessie Guerrero no

[@astrosleepz1442]

No

[@subscriberswithvideo-yw9fe]

Jessie Guerrero never

[@reeseferreira9376]

I loved how you talked about the butt end because when I was playing a game I was about 12 years old I got the back end of s stick to the ribs, it went right under me kidney pads and fractured 3 ribs because the guy didn't have a piece of plastic or anything around the butt end of his stick

[@dasteufelhund]

Played midfield back in the Marines, I used truck wheel spikes on my stick end.

[@sachill]

Starting to officiate Lacrosse next week. This is by far the best video ive watched. Curious if you have any other channels that would help me learn officiating lacrosse. Thanks and great video!!!!

[@patricksarnicola577]

paul rabil you are my favorite lacrosse player ever

[@cheeto9]

Paul, in regards to the legality of butt ends, I have come across multiple referees at the HS level that say you must have a hard end cap that fills up the butt end. It's hard to explain over KZbin comment. I had the exact same tape job you use and I had to find a hard end cap that I could put on it, simply covering up the end is no longer legal there must be a hard sort of barricade from the metal of the handle. My quick fix - I found a quarter and put it at the end of my stick and put tape over it. Luckily I had the ref stick check me before the game even started. #askpaul would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses, or 1 horse sized duck?

[@bradyhayes2036]

“I obviously don’t use this.. there’s no mesh”🤣😂😂

[@footballtime5474]

Wow that fray on tje shootkg strings shocked me. I'll have to check mine now

[@barbadosslimm89]

Our hs division I coach now can check any stick on the sideline as well, regardless of whether it is used in play or not. Which means I have to change my stick as a coach now, or not have it on the sideline because I have more than the max 2shooting strings and one nylon (I don’t have nylons)

[@BobbysWorldd]

I used beer caps in high school for my butt ends lol

[@djdavid2754]

On our lacrosse team we used to have a problem with stick checks and it was costing us so what we did was we went to the refs during pregame to check our sticks and make any adjustments we needed before the game actually started. Keep in mind though I'm in highschool idk if you can do that in collegiate levels or not but it's always worth the try

[@NPC_SNIPER]

Why am I getting this recommended 5 years later and I play hockey

[@masoncornell3151]

Yes!!! The beard is back

[@garrettmuniz1]

I see you Rabil. Growing out the beard to look like a hockey player for Halloween. Even draped an empty net with cob webs.

[@bostonhale4720]

Love The BEARD Paul

[@dave5640]

Love the vid

[@Its_mrp]

Thank u so much

[@adamatom7441]

I am starting to play lacrosse. And this really helped. Do you have to have tape on the but end or donut of the lacrosse stick

[@tylerboopor7982]

I kinda thought it was gonna talk abt actually sick checking in game hitting stick but I mean this was good to

[@cameronlastname5751]

Don't quote me on this but I believe: NFHS will be required to use the wider heads starting in the 2018 season, and also the bottom of the shaft cannot just be taped, it has to have a cover made specifically for the shaft, either rubber or plastic. Regardless, great video!

[@gordgesum9405]

you are awesome

[@tylerlennon3214]

If you score a goal and they usually check sticks after, if you hug your teammate or something when you score, smash the mesh against their back so that if they drop the ball in it’s less likely to be legal.

[@alexandriasimmons5201]

#askpaul I'm just starting lax at school this year (I'm in grade 6) what kind of gear do you think I should use and what type of mesh??

[@daltuhn591]

Your my fav player

[@lisasmith2460]

I never watch lacrosse and this just showed up in my recommended. I don’t know anything about this sport but this video was oddly entertaining.

[@DeclanCurtis]

bro i love paul he is just differnt

[@alexh6131]

#AskPaul What Mesh do You Use

[@Hypertaco105]

Can you do an updated version of this video because I heard the high school rules changed. I have an HS spec rabil 2 and they said my stick was illegal, I think high school is the same as college now.

[@fkennedy5461]

it was helpful

[@garrettwright2249]

#askpaul #notificationsquad what is the best way to learn how to string a stick

[@seanhendricks1636]

#Sully #AskPaul what do you think about the warrior warp? Do you endorse it, or think it ruins creativity?

[@natearendas2549]

Paul, what sidewall pattern do you use on your sticks? I use a Rabil2 as well and just wondered if it was close to what I use?

[@davidshipe7923]

Where do you buy a rabil 2 head?

[@jackgraham5485]

#Askpaul when did you start lacrosse? As someone myself who’ve recently started and am older. How can I get more confident in my playing?

[@jakedubiel3252]

#AskPaul what mesh do use and do you have any superstitions about your stick?

[@joeylyons2165]

#askpaul Do you think every level of lacrosse should be able to cut the palms out of their gloves?

[@alechoward1900]

Joey Lyons I agree

[@conorlyons9498]

Joey Lyons cool last name

[@griggles2025]

Joey Lyons i think because so all it is is more grip so your hands don’t slip more

[@millerworkman7970]

Yes i want to so bad

[@_MnG_]

#askpaul do you think that the 2 point rule will ever be implemented in the HS or NCAA rules

[@lukedavidson827]

Love u rabil

[@glirbuster44]

#AskPaul BTW thanks again for the Rabil 2 head during LaxMas. You said that that there should be no metal showing on butt ends so are the warrior Rabil screw in End cap and other screw in end cap legal? The screw head shows in the center of the butt end.

[@Laxwarrior]

#askpaul Hey Paul I am a 7th grader playing for my high school and I am wondering if you know what head I should use thanks

[@softdumpinthecorner2410]

Rob Rosen hockey

[@dropfaith874]

Lil Colleywobble hockey is played a lot more differently than you think. Basketball would help cuz of good footwork and arm strength.

[@kingston592]

Rob Rosen baseball for shooting and soccer for agility /running

[@christianhogan4779]

Paul I am a goalie and i need a head that college spec because I'm used to the goalie stick

[@shawnvfx393]

#askpaul what are some strategies to practice my shot?

What would the advantage even be to having a smaller top of head? I’m newer to lacrosse and I feel like the only thing I could think of is smaller would be more accurate

#askPaul (open question for anyone tho cause I’d love some help) Hey Paul, I’m currently in the middle of a move and I️ would like to see about playing lax at my new school next year. It’s very over whelming to have to figure out all of what I️ need and to understand the rules as well as good sticks to use. Is there a website or some way you would recommended learning all of this stuff?
