Breaking down the HARDEST CHECKS in Lacrosse | Soul & Science Ep. 2

[@bullfrog3982]

as a hockey player this blows me away. that you can take a whole windup and whack someone as hard as you want legally. and these dudes have way less gear than we do. this sport has my respect

[@andrewkim2013]

You cant do a whole wind up. Anything more than 180 degrees is a slash and will get a penalty.

[@chase1897]

bullfrog you can't do a full windup it has to seem "controlled" and you probably won't get called

[@mikeconron1937]

As long as you make contact with the hand or stick it’s legal for most refs

[@willdykema]

having played a good amount of hockey I can tell you they both hurt but hockey slashes (if they miss your pads) are definitely worst. difference is you get slashed 10-20 times a game as an attackman in lacrosse.

[@thefirephoenix4275]

I remember that last year, I was using a crappy stick and I hit a kid so hard with a slap check that I bent my stick at like a 30 degree angle. I still keep it as a trophy in my room.

[@onlypinda]

Bruh I snapped my ecd 3.0 and severely bent another one within the span of 1 quarter

To any new players/viewers watching this video. Watch some of Tucker Durkins highlights. He's not hitting this guy anywhere close to how hard he normally does.

[@deadtime5562]

I do this but my teammates say I need to go a little softer

[@willdykema]

tell them to lift some weights in the off season and it wont hurt so much.... assuming that your not actually just slashing them and being an asshole

[@brrroke947]

@@willdykema people that go full try hard on teammates in practice are annoying

[@J4bel]

@@brrroke947 if you don't go full tryhard mode in practice your teammates and yourself will never get better.

[@brrroke947]

@@J4bel when u practice u should try but u shouldn’t be trying to hit your teamates as hard as u can and trying to hurt them for the games

[@J4bel]

​@@brrroke947 I never said that hurting your teammates is going into tryhard mode. There is a big difference between the 2

[@connerneads756]

It makes me cringe watching that slap check

[@samtexsemtex6998]

The scariest thing is. That 700 pounds of force can happen multiple times while ur holding the ball.

[@Tony-wu5ow]

Is it legal in FIL rules for the shaft to hit the arm like that, even if the head hits the stick?

[@350stonewall]

Since the composite shaft is hollow, I’d be interested to see some stats on how hard that slap check would be using a 6’ long traditional wood stick.
Also, wood sticks should be allowed in the pro game.

[@Ltmonte]

350stonewall you’d see broken bones. I agree that would be awesome

[@shussey1446]

Surely it would still hurt even with a hollow stick. That defender is using a lot of force.

[@samtexsemtex6998]

Do u want someone to die?

[@liamneimeth3980]

I hate when the refs say “ hit stick” and “get of the free hand”

[@anthonyhardy96]

As a former O Middie who drew the LSM a lot, thats whole point. Slapping my free hand does nothing and makes it easier for me to run by you if I time your check

[@ayesp6188]

@@anthonyhardy96 he's talking about the cross check to the off hand which is painful as hell and knocks you back and slows you down

[@liamgasser8062]

You can cross check in the PLL?

[@bobbyvanburen2263]

You can cross check in pretty much any league as long as it’s not high or the hands are not super far apart. Refs realize it’s pretty much impossible to play solid D without cross checking.

[@champnotchicken4318]

Its a grey area. Technically illegal but most refs wont call it if its in the front and not in the head

[@WazowskiAU]

You can cross check but it's limited by equal force. If you are trying to push through them, you can't use any bar otherwise you will be called. But if you run with them and apply pressure with the bar. That's fine, it's called equal pressure

[@willscala5686]

Michael Stobie-Morris it’s a shaft not a bar

[@WazowskiAU]

@@willscala5686 there's different terms for them, shaft or bar. Here we say bar-checks not cross-check..
