MEASUREMENTS THAT MATTER
LIE
The distance the scoop “lies” from the center axis of the shaft.
SWEET SPOT
The particular position on the bottom rail of a lacrosse head that is the furthest distance from the center axis of the shaft. The Sweet Spot sits at the vertex – the point of the bottom rail that stops curving down from the center axis of the shaft – and begins to curve back up towards the center point of reference.
TRAVEL
The distance the ball has to move to be released from the head when using the sweet spot as a starting point.
