Head Rock Lacrosse Training Tool

Last Modified: July 7, 2023 Posted By: Nick Bonsignore

I am always looking for innovations in lacrosse to try out. Pre-cut tape, multi-sized diamonds in a piece of mesh, and various different materials for shafts are all new and exciting ideas. Experimenting with new products is always a blast, but a recent product has really stood out. This product is the Head Rock, a weighted attachment to improve your stickwork.

Head Rock Lacrosse:

The Easiest Way to Cradle & Fake Better

Weighted sticks are not a new idea and this concept is popular in most sports. It is the same idea as a resistance band for lifting or a donut on a baseball bat. The added weight should help with power, speed, and control. This is a sound idea, but not many people have done it successfully for lacrosse. There are weighted shafts and attachable weights for your shaft, yet Head Rock attack the idea in a completely new way.

Weighted shafts and stick attachments do help with power, but weighted shafts are expensive and using wood or sand more practical. The attachments worry me constantly because I don’t expect them to stay on the stick. Honestly, they scare me a little. This is where the Head Rock comes in to save the day.

Constant Safe Stickwork:

The Head Rock goes on your head from the shaft side up and will never fly off. It also doesn’t require the ball but replicates the feel of a ball with a little extra weight. This gives you the weight right where you would want it. In your pocket instead of in the shaft. You can then easily work on cradling, faking, and passes all indoors if you want. I use it when I watch TV and get half an hour of cradling in on the couch. It’s always nice to have a stick in your hand, and now you can without having to worry about losing the ball.

Reliable and Simple Improvements

I’ve used the Head Rock for a few weeks now and while I don’t use it much for passing or shooting, it has helped my handling. Being able to control the ball and keep it in your stick is crucial, especially for beginners. Cradling isn’t an impressive skill, but it is a necessary one. Young players often have a hard time keeping the ball when they are moving at top speed. I seriously believe that the Head Rock can improve their cradling and confidence very quickly.It is very easy to tell when the ball would fall out of your stick, so there isn’t much guessing with the Head Rock. Also, without having to worry about drops you have endless reps available to you.

I Wish This Was Around When I Was Learning

Every player that I have let use the Head Rock has had the same reaction. They are shocked it feel so much like a ball in their stick, and they angry they didn’t have one growing up. There are so many holes, scuffs, and cracks that I have caused learning how to control a lacrosse ball that could have been avoided. I truthfully think my parents wish this was around more than I even do for the sake of their house. It is such a wonderful tool for getting better and it is addicting as well.

All the players that I have let use the Head Rock also hog it once let them see it. The hardest part about using it is not having some other player take it and not want to give it back. I do believe that for shadow shooting and pseudo-dodging the Head Rock would also do a great job. Plenty of the players I know that have used my Head Rock just use it to work on split dodges and their form for dodges. It is perfect for realizing where your stick will be during a dodge without possibly losing it mid-dodge. Basically, the Head Rock really does it all.

A 5 Star Product: Head Rock Lacrosse

For what it is, I have no complaints about the Head Rock. I’m sure they will find ways to improve it, but for now, I have no suggestions. I use it very frequently and I will continue to for a long time. Anyone looking for a fun way to improve their skills should pick one up. Anyone looking to help out a young player should pick up one for them. I’ll recommend the Head Rock to anyone and everyone in the lacrosse world because of what a huge fan I am of it and I hope that they continue to grow as a company. For now be sure to support them and check out their site where you can get yourself a Head Rock. Also, a huge thank you to Craig for sending the Head Rock to us. Best of luck my friend, you found yourself quite the gem.

About Nick Bonsignore

I stopped playing other sports when I found lacrosse and I don’t regret it. I’ve always thought that lacrosse had something that other sports just didn’t, and once I picked up a stick it was game over; or should I say game on! Outside of lacrosse, I am a huge Cleveland sports fan, a dog lover, a frequent customer at your local Chinese restaurant, and can be found listening to the newest music on Z107. 9!

The Epoch Hawk Lacrosse Head Gear Review

The Epoch Hawk is their first attempt at making a head for any player but definitely marketed towards the elite player. After using the head it really fits the needs of just about anyone on the field. Just like every product Epoch makes they have put a ton of time in research and development with the Hawk and it really does show when you pick it up to shoot around. Every aspect of the Hawk was pretty amazing.

Shape 9 out of 10
The Epoch Hawk is a head for the high pocket lover. The “Laid Back” offset to the Hawk doesn’t eliminate the opportunity for a low pocket but it sure does encourage towards a high pocket. Unlike most heads that offset at the throat the Hawk is offset more towards the top of the head and narrowed towards the throat which creates a set up for a pretty wide channel that still provides enough hold on the ball to dangle by your defender. It is nice and wide for catching passes across crease and meeting the NCAA Universal spec. It may look odd at first but the Hawk’s shape grows on you and provides a good feel between onset and offset heads giving fans of either an enjoyable experience. 9 out of 10

Scoop 10 out of 10
When testing this head the scoop definitely stood out of us. Epoch has made a “Grooved Scoop” for the Hawk which may seem to be just aesthetic but it seems to have a major effect on the head. With the “Laid Back” design the Tressle Sidewall is straight across the top which would make ground balls normally feel odd when going through a good scoop but not with the Hawk. My assistant in this test played a couple games with it and came off the field saying without a doubt it’s the best scooping head he’s ever used. We played on some dirty fields where groundballs were an issue for almost every player all day, every player but James who was rocking the Hawk. GB’s win games and with the Grooved Scoop on the Hawk you’re definitely setting yourself up to win more than a few 10 out of 10.

Stiffness 9 out of 10
The Hawk is a reasonably stiff head but still soft enough to faceoff with or to be forgiving on a bad pass. The Hawk is flexible though to the point where fans of a hard poke check that doesn’t give will find it not as much to their liking. It plays solid through a pass or a faceoff, snapping back phenomenally well from several pinch and pops, and even when shooting but the Dpoles out there may not find it to be their favorite. The Hawk is stiff where it needs to be and holds up extremely well so don’t ever worry that it will be too soft for use here guys 9 out of 10.

Stringing 9 out of 10
First time stringers beware, the Hawk was a challenge. There are plenty of stringing holes and they are all well placed but being a non-traditional shaped head made the Epoch Hawk a good challenge. I have been stringing for over 10 years most of that professionally for companies with repeat customers and the Hawk made me curious. The possibilities are endless but the path to them was varied. The best part about the Hawk was that though I settled in on a high pocket using Epoch Otter Mesh the ball still was able to rock low in a one handed cradle. Once you figure out your pattern the stringing on the Hawk becomes a dream and you just really can’t lose. I’ve played with the Hawk using a low pocket, a mid pocket, and a high pocket all of them felt amazing definitely the perfect fit for the Otter Mesh. 9 out of 10 because we love a challenge but newer stringers may want a pattern. (Our pattern will be shown closely)

Durability 10 out of 10
The Hawk took a beating, a serious beating and stood up to it with no issues. We threw slap checks, lifts, rusty gates, pinch and pops, terrible fields, and hard shots through defense at the Hawk and after the dirt is washed off it looks brand new. We have honestly put somewhere in the range of 40-50 hours on this head since we got it and you’d swear it was brand new when we pull it out of the bag. The Hawk will last you a good long time with no issues here guys 10 out of 10.

Looks ? out of 10
Really looks don’t matter much on a head but this one is a question. It is unusual but we love it, after a bit. It’s clean white or Pantone 382c (we love the Pantone seriously can’t say this enough) but the shape is just different. Over time it grows on you and becomes one of your favorite heads to see, not sure here guys just got to say let it grow on you because it definitely will. ? out of 10

Overall 9.4 out of 10
The Hawk may be a first effort but man does it come in like a seasoned veteran. If you are even considering getting a Hawk we definitely recommend it without a question. The whole experience with the Hawk has been amazing and we will definitely be keeping them in regular rotation for our house hold 9.4 out of 10 guys.

Surpass Toronto

It won’t be long before the country’s first Hockey Museum with a Hall of Fame will appear in the Park of Legends sports and entertainment district in Moscow, which threatens to change our understanding of this kind of sports projects. We decided to look back at the history of the most famous hockey museum in the world – the Hall of Fame in Toronto, and understand what our pioneers should strive for.

Two Meanings

The Hockey Hall of Fame has a double meaning. On the one hand, this is a symbolic club, which includes the greatest athletes of different eras. On the other hand, it is also directly a building or a gallery in the museum, where the most significant trophies and memorial plaques with the names of hockey legends are kept like in a sanctuary.

Across the ocean, various “hall of families” in both senses is a phenomenon so familiar, so well-established, that they hardly imagine a situation where some honored person, be he a baseball player, lacrosse player or even a rock star, will be without his corner in the corresponding Hall, without his record of accomplishments.

Russia didn’t have its own hockey Hall of Fame for a long time. In 2004, Russian functionaries tried to create it, in the first year including only the very best: all the world champions of 1954, the captains of the USSR national team at the victorious World Championships and Olympic Games, three-time Olympionists, as well as a dozen great coaches and several functionaries and judges.

The company turned out to be diverse, without some obvious names, but more than worthy for a debut. But in order to fully implement the project, the building of the Hall itself was required, and as soon as it was found, the idea was revived in a new format.

They got down to business seriously, creating not only a list of the greatest people of Russian hockey from 146 names, but also starting the transformation of the metaphysical Hall into a real one, made of metal and concrete.

A ten-minute drive from the center of the capital, the construction of a whole sports quarter “Park of Legends” is underway, within which a modern ice palace with three arenas, a water sports complex and the Hockey Museum, the heart of which will become the new Hall of Fame, are being built.

According to Vladimir Myshkin, deputy general director of Park of Legends, in order to implement such a large-scale project, it was necessary to collect and analyze information about a whole scattering of sports museums and halls of fame: the football museum in England, the FIFA museum, the American football museum, but first of all , of course, about the Hall of Fame in Toronto.

In order for the Russian reader to understand what an amazing novelty he should be ready for in the near future, we decided to tell you about the history of the Enkhael Hall and its content.

The dream of the “father of hockey”

Actually, calling the Toronto Hall of Fame the “NHL Hall of Fame” is not entirely correct, although it is convenient. The Canadian Museum, while in fact obsessed with the world’s major league, is not limited to it. So, for example, it includes Vladislav Tretiak, Valery Kharlamov and Anatoly Tarasov, several IIHF presidents, from Ahern to Sabetzki, representatives of the WHA, which once competed with the National League. And he was definitely not conceived as a free application to the NHL.

In the first half of the 20th century, an absolutely remarkable man lived in Canada, James Thomas Sutherland, who is still called in Kingston only as the “father of hockey”. A brave military man, and part-time amateur hockey player with great imagination and extreme enthusiasm, did no less for ice sports than Academician Korolev did for the space industry of our country.

Sutherland introduced left-back and right-back positions (before the 1910s, the position of players in hockey was completely different), created the Memorial Cup and, for the first time in history, attended to the creation of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Devoted to his native Kingston, James Thomas dreamed that this city would become a haven for hockey memorabilia and great representatives of the ice sport. He believed that Kingston, where in 1886 the game between the teams of the Queen’s University and the Royal Military College took place, had the unconditional right to be considered the small homeland of hockey. And his opinion turned out to be authoritative enough for the NHL and CAHA (Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, aka CAHA) to jointly decide to establish the first Hall there.

By that time, baseball and golf already had their Halls of Fame, and hockey officials took them as a model. In April 1941, newspapers first wrote about the possible opening of the Hall, in November the former owner of Montreal, Leo Danduran, discussed this idea with representatives of the NHL, and in September 1943, amateurs and professionals finally reached an agreement.

The Hall of Fame originally appeared on paper as a non-profit charitable organization. He did not have his own separate premises, and the first honorary members appeared in it only two years later.

Pivot towards Toronto

Creating a tangible home for hockey rarities was much more difficult. The recently concluded World War and the Great Depression were still making themselves felt, and the construction of even small buildings was extremely expensive. It took nearly two decades for hockey organizations to raise money to one day scrape together several tens of thousands of dollars (a large sum in those days) to build a museum building.

Some league clubs, playing across the continent, from Boston to Toronto and New York to Montreal, contributed directly to donate profits to the museum. At some point, it became obvious that only a few years remained before the start of a large construction project in Kingston.

But then the unexpected happened – on September 30, 1955, at the age of 84, Sutherland died, not only the author of the project, but also the person on whose authority the very idea of the Hall of Fame in Kingston rested. And then the leadership of the NHL, who did not want to give such a significant museum to a city where there was not even an NHL team, made a knight’s move.

Three years after Sutherland’s death, before the museum had raised enough funds to build a building in Kingston, NHL President Clarence Campbell (the same one after whom the Western Conference prize is named) declared that the city was not suitable for his league . As it turned out, the NHL had already secretly agreed with the National Exhibition of Canada to build a new Hall of Fame building in Toronto.

These words sounded like a bolt from the blue. The Kingstonians, of course, were angry, but no one asked their opinion. On August 1958 years, that is, just a couple of months after Campbell’s announcement, a temporary Hockey Hall of Fame opened in the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In just six months, more than 350 thousand people visited its exposition, and the NHL was finally convinced that the Hall should become permanent there.

The exhibition complex was built with NHL money in record time – less than a year. The first permanent exhibition was opened in 1961 by Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker himself, and in the year of the opening, the Hall of Fame was visited by 750 thousand people, up to 19On the 80th, admission there was free. But the dream of James Sutherland, the father of this project, remained unfulfilled.

Kingston still built its Hall of Fame in 1965 and even got the right to call it “international” (Toronto representatives tried to sue this name, but failed), but members to this club were no longer elected from 1966. It didn’t make sense when the Toronto Hall of Fame inducted every member of the Kingston era.

From statues to 3-D cinema

And yet, for all the commercialism of the NHL’s decision, there was some historical justice in the creation of the Hall of Fame in Toronto. So what is Kingston after all? A town of 120,000 that is famous for its limestone buildings, Queens University, and musician Bryan Adams, but has little economic value or promise. We would call this a regional center.

Toronto is a different story. Toronto is 2.5 million people, of which only infants are not fond of hockey, and you can’t be completely sure about the latter. Toronto is Canada’s economic engine, consistently ranked among the world’s most comfortable cities and attracting more tourists in a season than Kingston has ever.

From the informational, economic, and sports points of view, the museum should have been built here. In addition, they made it to the conscience, selecting an exhibit for years and constantly improving the design.

Massive statues of hockey players, like ancient warriors, protecting the entrance. Constant emphasis on the connection between the past and the present – from the figures of goalkeepers without masks to cutting-edge computer technology. Wall of pucks with pictures of every club that has ever played in North America. Personal glazed corners of hockey players with their banners, attributes and signature on the glass. Collector’s Corner, where everyone can buy souvenirs, photographs, books, CDs, hockey player cards, small copies of cups and paraphernalia.

And also the Montreal Canadiens hall, the hall of dynasties clubs, individual and team prizes with a full history, a play area for children – with video games about hockey, attractions, a playground … And for a snack – modern cinemas: a small one where historical matches are played , and a large one from TSN with computerized 3-D movies.

If there is a place where a person can be made to fall in love with hockey without any violence, then this is the Hall of Fame in Toronto.

Russian answer

And now back to the beginning of our article. It is really difficult to kill the Canadian splendor, but judging by the scale of the idea and the sketches, the Hockey Museum in the “Park of Legends” will be something out of the ordinary.

A five-story building with halls dedicated to history, modernity and the greatest players of the USSR and Russia, with gaming and multimedia areas and, perhaps, even with a copy of the IIHF Hall of Fame – this is a project comparable to the Enkhael “hall” and certainly surpassing everything that has ever been in Russian sports.

“The idea of creating a hockey museum has been in the air for a long time,” says Vladimir Myshkin. “We have great hockey, but there is practically no visual memory of it. Therefore, the decision, as they say, is overdue. assumed the main functions of construction, began to develop the idea. Coordination took a long time: we must remember that we are creating the Museum on the site of the reconstructed ZIL industrial zone, in the building of an architectural monument of the early 20th century. ”

A huge role in the appearance of the museum in Moscow was played by the club “Legends of Hockey of the USSR” and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation. Now it is “Legends”, with the active support of the FHR, who are working on collecting exhibits.

“We’re already getting together, we’ll find out who kept what,” says Myshkin. “We didn’t think about it before, but everyone probably has a couple of things left. We will also work with the families of the players who left us. Perhaps they have some “Rarities, archival records and stuff like that. I think I myself will give some things to the museum.”

According to the great goalkeeper, the concept of what the museum should look like, how it will be replenished, who will serve it, how the work with visitors will be carried out has already been created.

“The visit will start from the “Introduction to Hockey” hall,” continues Vladimir Semyonovich. “There will be an introductory part of the exposition and an interactive game zone where visitors will learn about the origins of hockey, and everyone can feel like a player of any role.

The Hockey History Hall will tell guests about the creation of national clubs, national championship records, and the achievements of the national team.0019

At the same time, the exposition will be lively, constantly updated, aimed at development. We will create an area in the museum dedicated to modern achievements in hockey, plus there will be temporary exhibitions, master classes, autograph sessions and seminars, so that each new visit becomes a revelation for hockey fans.
