Which one do you have?

This is mine: http://www.newitts.com/product/OS-199/Pop_Lacrosse_Ball.htm

It does say that it is soft.

Yes that one, the one where you said "look at link blah blah blah" :p Seeing as no one else replied I went with that one.

As it turns out one is faulty, so i'll be sending it back.

You guys need a firm lacrosse ball. I didn't know soft ones existed!

Indeed chap. Do you have any links to some please? I may as well roll on top of a piece of kitchen towel with this :p

Well...i know people around bicester and i goto oxford from time to time :)

Pm me or something mate, might be good to know on the off chance.

Just sent a picture to newitts about the faulty lacrosse ball...will see what they say in the morning !
 
The shop is called Elma Cotton, which is just off Broad Street. Have you tried specialist sports shops near you?

Also, if you come down to Oxford, come and have a session!
 
May have to organise something one day chap. Its not 'that' far away from me for a day trip.

Thanks for the shop name, havent tried anywhere local but most places here are pants. Is your lacrosse ball a smooth one or is it spiked?
 
Quick question. When I get up in the morning, I can't even sit up straight(have to roll out of bed) because it feels like one of my muscles has tightened up over night, just below my ribe cage on right side. Would that be my psoas? It gets better with exercises, so I guess it just needs warming up and stretching.

I've been told to self refer to a physio, but if i can get a head start, that would be great or avoid it altogther!

Mine is a 'proper' lacrosse ball :p

It's a ball that's designed for a sport...It just so happens this one is soft! Presumably so when it whacks you it doesn't hurt ;)

On the plus side, my faulty Lacrosse ball is being replaced free of charge! :)

Try this, I've been meaning to but haven't found the right ball yet:

Nope, proper lacrosse balls are solid ;)

A quick google reveals that these seem to be NCAA specced balls, but it might be worth asking them if they are proper, solid balls:

It could be, but it's hard to tell from the description. Doing the exercise in that video will smash everything that's tight.

Have you stretched your psoas before?

I sometimes do these ones for my Psoas:


Its in my back, just below my rib cage on the right, but closer to the center. Basically it stops me from sitting up straight when im on my back and I have to roll to the side and get up that way.

It doesn't stop my doing my exercise, if anything the workout helps with it.
