LaxGripper is not what you think it is.

They are hand grips that go on a lacrosse shaft to help beginner and experienced players learn, develop and master the fundamentals in a simple and more productive way. LaxGrippers guide beginners to proper hand placement and finger positioning on the shaft, so the fingers and palm nestle the handle naturally — eliminating the "death grip" and other grip flaws that frustrate players and undermine skill development from day one.
