Theory Thursday: Having a "Gamer"

[@SuperBenjy13]

I Almost cried with Chris's last sentence on Gamers 😂

[@carsoncoin]

This video was really deep

[@Notahero121]

I love watching this over and over again & when he picks up the hawk I love how his first shot was top right xD

[@nickconnolly4051]

i use a joule lev with a stallion u 500 because of the balance and the feel i get with it, everyone on my team picks it up and says something about the weight and all i say is "preference"

[@conner9223]

So would you recommend playing with an x-spec head in hs so you don't have to make the jump

[@jhearn28]

Would you guys give any thoughts for maybe a theory Thursday to do box style heads/patterns? Maybe try and look into the pockets the NLL guys are using with the playoffs coming up?

[@hamiltonedelen]

I never thought that you can take something so simple and make it so deep.

[@mayanalien]

Congratulations on the store. I wish you much success. You definitely deserve it. It's good to see you doing it for more than just money, but for the love of the game.

[@alexthoms5789]

I like how deep you get at the end about the whole flesh and blood thing, keep rockin it mainley mesh

[@ericdobson515]

Over the summer I used a proton power that worked really well in the spring but it whipped on outside shots. I just fought through it until I bought a stallion. I wanted to finish out the summer until my bottom string broke right before a game and I had to use the stallion. The stallion worked great. I still use it and plan to use it unless the high school rules change and we have to use x spec heads.

[@coulsonbittner]

Best theory Thursday yet

[@alexleckie3756]

I can use any brand head as long as its strung by me. I can make any head work good if i string it

[@virgilslaymaker6258]

"awe that wouldve been cool" lol

[@flynnscheib2487]

I have used an STX eclipse for the last four years, I have had the same shaft for the same amount of time. Yesterday while playing pick up one of the throat holes on the eclipse broke. I remember thinking of all the memories I have had with that one stick and I'll admit i cried a little because I can't find the shaft I used anywhere.

[@FastWalkToFresno]

Good video. I’ve never understood why people have more than one model of stick at a time. My gamers and backups were always the same model, and now that my sons are playing, it’s the same for them.

[@WindyFlings]

Great video! I totally get that. Before this video I was the guy trying tons of heads and different pockets but never being super consistent. Now I understand why.

[@claytonmulford1177]

Totally agree with you on this. The only bummer for me is I always pick a head that seems to warp. 2 years ago I used the superpower and after a while it warped to where I could hardly catch the ball. I bought a new one and strung it the same way but it was never the same. Same thing this summer into fall with the warrior burn. Now I'm trying the Evo 4x and i hope it doesn't warp too much haha

[@ryanclune343]

Would love to see a video on box style heads and patterns vs field heads and patterns. Some may say there is a no difference, but I believe the throwing and playing style differs between the two.

[@Johnify1322]

Just started watching your videos man can tell you're really passionate about this sport keep it up!!

[@sk8rn8thegr8]

I think that as long as the weight is balanced, and u have the same pocket and mesh, then your good. Im probably gonna stick with an optik on a firefly for a while tho.

[@aquinotv4317]

Awesome video. Thanks Chris.

[@negativetim]

Great video! I think I'll share it with our Lacrosse Club in Tri-cities, WA ( 3 Rivers LAX Coyotes ) Top tier info ,all players need to here this from people who know. Again great job.

[@RogerPerez20X]

yeah two heads I've wanted to stick with are discontinued, Debeer Phantom, and the Gait Chaos. I did use a torque back in 2007 but it didnt last the last four games of my season. Still on the hunt for that head that will make me go head over hells for it. hahaha

[@nolancastle]

this is too true. I used a warrior blade 2.0 faceoff for 3 years... it broke in the offseason before this year and I couldn't find a head im comfortable with since

[@andrewmeyer9441]

I came back to this video just because I love it so much.

[@VirtuallyPalmer]

I've used the same Gait Silencer head for about 4 years now, played attack in the beginning now on long pole D with it.

[@brendanlamb9153]

That stick for me is the Metrik U, any mesh I use I can apply the same pattern and have it throw almost identically

[@mrnetgear44]

Brendan Lamb

[@quinnfarragher854]

So what do you recommend to do if you want to make a new gamer?

[@_officialgates_395]

I made the mistake once of trying to change my gamer to a warrior cobra x and I have always used a Nike Lakota, I know the sufferance between the heads is HUGE and I didn't even use that cobra for a whole season then I went back to my old kind of warped Lakota that isn't even white anymore and it's brown now, and soon I will be purchasing a new nike lakota I wish that I saw this video sooner

[@joeykatome753]

his face at 6:25 lmaooo ily

[@ianschoerner421]

I use an STX Surgeon on a ECD Carbon Shaft

[@mathurcj1890]

Lol I only have one stick CEO on a surgeon SC-TI

[@edh9560]

I love my CEO

[@coleclinton3123]

Ceo is a godly head

[@TheYelLoWGarNett]

i have Ceo on dragonfly

[@gangshootamars8441]

same i have an evo 4 on stringking a7150

[@LaZeRApex]

I use the optik U on a gait polar ice shaft. LIGHTEST. STICK. EVER.

[@MOHvsCOD]

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just switch to the torque 3 in college?

[@702beastly]

I use a maverick tank on a kryptolight d-pole and i agree with how you get used to your gamer

[@nathanrobey383]

I agree one hundred percent with you guys

[@alexprzybilla2432]

So if I've been using the Super Power for the last 3 years, would it be bad if I changed my head the a Nike CEO U? Or should I just get the new Super Power?

[@patrickgrimes3615]

"Upper eshelon" is now my favorite phrase

[@MrFrootman]

I have a gamer but it's too pinched to use so I had to move on it's the gait bedlam

[@saobx3956]

When you try to miss your shots to prove a point. Looks like you should take up the Hawk.

[@brickwallbirdhockey7292]

Does it matter if it's a different model of the same head? I've had my Rabil Next since 6th grade, but it's starting to break. Would it work to go from a Next to a 2X?

[@brandonmayo5660]

What shaft is the first one?! Love the look!

[@alechoward1900]

I don't need a certain head just I just need my pocket and shooter setup

[@drakewheelden930]

Hey, I'm an attackman and I play with the NCAA rules. I love to shoot from outside, dangle, and one hand cradle but I am having trouble finding the right gamer. Any suggestions?

[@honeybadger1810]

Command 2.

[@SweetShawn999]

During college why didn't you just use the Torque 3?

[@GeorgeuSuzuki]

Dude after watching this I realized the Mark 1 is my gamer

[@adambland1543]

That's the exact same thing with me as a goalie

[@MrMCLOVIN123456]

Where did u go to college

[@jakepratt403]

Brine clutch 2x is my gamer, love that head

[@forrestrosen855]

Why didn't you use a torque 3?

[@SKATEBOARDINGGHP]

Good video haha it sounds like youre getting emotional at times probably just a cold or something

[@arthurmatthewrosen5212]

Y didn't you use a torque 3 in college?

[@joshendricks1773]

Tht was really deep

[@carsont3052]

How ever I agree with everything you said

[@datbahami]

one plus I want to try the hawk now

[@nicholaspomilio3575]

Great vid

[@Drizzle3D]

Hey, I am a defenseman wanting to switch over to midfield/attack. I play on a spring and summer team while playing defense but I want to try out midfield and practice at it. If you have tips on talking to coach and asking about position switches please help.

[@sk8rn8thegr8]

Practice at home, and show him ur skills, or i would just straight up tell him that u want to play middie

[@dylanbrown6049]

You should also try playing lsm it's great. Also remember defence wins the game.

[@MrDbtx]

Still wish I found out what happened between you and Sam

[@malikalzubi2061]

Would this work for long poles

[@gangshootamars8441]

Evo 4 on stringking a7150

[@gangshootamars8441]

i havw two sticks sometimes i want different feel, head width etc

[@boonestribling2130]

What a great video

[@forrestrosen855]

It took me a while but I have a rp3x on a Nike vandal

[@sethwilder8875]

If u really think about it. Its plastic and mesh. The head Dosnt do much.

[@sethwilder8875]

The biggest thing is the stringing pattern.

[@logansweetin2821]

inspiring

[@jaxonwright9512]

100% true

[@connormanter5423]

+eastcoastdyes Used the lakota for like 5 years

[@nk0spewock101]

Sorry to burst your bubble Chris but you can't know the Noz "inside" and out did you even think to yourself that the noz is hollow before you said that LOL (I hope you can tell I'm not trying to be a jerk I just thought that was funny

[@kelleyalbrant2653]

Who else thinks he should start using the hawk a little more...

[@Pipyrr]

nike legacy on a maverik union and a maverik optik u on a maverik a1

[@Notahero121]

Super Power is my true gamer Love that head , But Im trying to introduce the Metrik as another gamer lets see how this goes! :)

[@copyofshadowskater]

Yeah the super power is my favorite head ever, it's so consistent!

[@jackduncan4935]

lyle uses a lil nas x

[@cadesmith7549]

My gamer is a noz 2

[@carsont3052]

Lyle doesn't use one stick too much anymore I saw a picture someone posted about him breaking the record and he had a rabil two he uses the optic world games he was kinda forced but he had a lokota u

[@mainelymesh]

Carson Theriault You're right. Sankey would have been a better example. Lyle is too good for any human categorization...

[@brandonmcgrath5775]

And I saw him using a Evo 4

[@jamespierce9181]

You must do a rewview on tribe 7 heads

[@willhendyy]

my gamer is a surgeon 700

[@Mason_Strodtman]

Mainly Mesh what college did you go to and are you pro?

[@kylemarch936]

I'm an attackmen and I'm in the process of finding the head for me I found the shaft for me was the Ecd carbon then that I am looking at now is a maverick optik hs

[@uhhhhJD]

I'm just a faceoff man lol I just blow through CEOs every year

[@nickmaclin1936]

[@timmyperlin5136]

[@datbahami]

you are complaining about not practicing and playing from memory. I hate people like that who need a "gamer", you were purposely being bad with the hawk cuz you were aiming way off. this is just sad. what happens if u fail a stick check what then? play for the love of the game not an overrated head.
