What is wood lacrosse sticks?

Wood lacrosse sticks have been used for centuries in the game of lacrosse. The earliest versions were made from carved wood and animal sinew or gut, and were used by Native American tribes in their traditional games. Modern wood lacrosse sticks are typically made from a single piece of hickory, maple, or another hardwood, and are reinforced with plastic or metal inserts for added strength and durability.

Wood lacrosse sticks have a different feel and playing style than modern lacrosse heads made of synthetic materials. They are heavier and more rigid, offering a more traditional and organic experience for players. They also require more maintenance, such as oiling or restringing, to keep them in top condition.

Many high school and college players still use wood lacrosse sticks, often as a way to honor the game's traditional roots. They are also popular among recreational and youth players who enjoy the old-school feel of the sport.
