**Follow me on Instagram: / redstarlax ---- DIY lacrosse stick for about $7 in materials. 1.5"x36" PVC pipe 1"x30" Wooden Dowel I used a heat gun, but you can also use boiling water.
Originally I believed that you'd need to utilize a factory like these major companies and couldn't do something like this at home. I stand corrected. This is pretty incredible our sport needs more individuals like yourself.
@7:38 as soon as you make a rig like that you can probably start cranking a few of these out with just more pvc edit: and after playing with it so many fine tuning adjustments can be made!! This is so cool to see especially with lacrosse being added to the olympics for 2028!!!
Mad respect for this. Lacrosse gear is expensive at times, meaning some kids may never get to play a game. This goes to show that if you’re motivated enough to do something you can. For people in the states money isn’t much of an issue. But if a child in say Africa can pick up anything to make a stick, it’ll be a companion as well as an opportunity
I made my first lacrosse stick 30+ years ago out of gray plastic conduit, plexiglas, and wingnuts. I knew it was too dangerous to play with so I saved up some money and bought a Kwickstik traditional. I wish I still had em both.
This is great stuff. This shows true passion for all aspects of the game. This is actually how I got started, I loved the creativity of the strings and the colors and making something your own. I was never able to do this, but now that I have this to inspire me maybe I will give it a try.
Unfortunately, my head turned out very crude... my PVC pipe was to thick to flatten efficiently. I ended up just cutting the shape out of the curved pipe. I didn't know if my belt sander was in good condition, and didn't want to spend a lot of time sanding with just sandpaper. So I tried my best to cut as close as possible to my lines (I should mention I tried to incorporate some offset, which was a bad idea for a first try), but it did not turn out well. I still shaped the plastic into a head though, and that process went well. So I guess the biggest problem with the final product was just that some parts ended up too thin or unequal. I really want to try again when I have time, though.
I thought about it, but since I already came up with the knotted mesh, and did a video on it, I didn’t really feel like doing it again. When it got to the stringing, I was ready to be done ;-)
thanks very helpfull i'm going to use is thanks again ..an +idea may you'll need somewhere after heating and shaping just put ice spray and voila you dont have to wait..
My high school is having there first ever lacrosse team in spring I never played the sport but I'm very interested so I wanted to prepare so I can join. Anyways what is the size of the template
This head costs $7 but the Boombah Compressor costs $5. I am sure it will sell out soon or not stay that price forever. Great video. Very innovative without expensive materials.
I don’t know for sure if they’re clearing old stock, but it seems like it. I REALLY hope they’re coming out with new stuff, and not just giving up on lacrosse.
I will have to keep you posted. I am doing this as soon as possible. Now I just need to figure out a ball. Maybe a weighted tenis ball or something. I gotta think about it.
Hi Can you some time please do an update on this video with a template? I want to make my own stick, but I can't find any templates like the one you used at 4:15 in the video... :) This is still an awesome video!
Fiffi since pvc is relatively flexible it could work. I'd actually use CPVC for that though since it's about 50x more shatter resistant and more flexible
My dream was to have a lacrosse stick or to make one but i think you are good at making one i think i want you to make me five of those because i was wondering if my family can play with me and of course they will always say yes i always hear the word yes from my family and if your in canada can you please bring me five or if your in a different country also
Nothing to do with communism. The California state flag has a red star and a bear on it, and I am from California. California's use of the red star predates the existence of state communism. The theory of communism, as a philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology dates WAY back, but it wasn't until The October Revolution that followed the Russian Civil War that the red star became a symbol of Russian communism, and that was in 1917. The red star was first used in California on the the Lone Star Flag...in 1836, eighty one years before the commies stole it ;-)
This is too awesome
👊🏼👍🏼Thank you!

And this is why i’ve been following you for so long. Lacrosse is truly more than a game, thank you for being so original!
You’re welcome, and thank you for the nice comment!

Best lacrosse video on the internet❤
I made my first lacrosse stick 30+ years ago out of gray plastic conduit, plexiglas, and wingnuts. I knew it was too dangerous to play with so I saved up some money and bought a Kwickstik traditional. I wish I still had em both.
Totally inspiring...thanks for posting this and helping grow the game. Let's bring lax to the world!
Thanks!
Next up. DIY goalie head?
That would be cool.
This is now my favorite lacrosse video on the planet!
That’s awesome! Thanks!
Yes...... Argentina thanks you.. I can't believe I didn't think of PVC pipe... Thank you!!!!
Dude.... Best idea in years
Ha! Thanks Justin!
Great video! You are Talented! The music is sick too👍

Thanks! Awesome comment!
Looks great just started cutting the PVC for one myself
Nice, Post it on instagram when you finish, and tag me...I'd love to see it!
@@redstarlacrosse will do
I gotta say Tom your awesome.
Thanks Fernando
I think this head is in some way much more valuable than an actual normal head
Atlest to the community
I hope so!
Thank you for this tutorial.. i've had funny Time Building your Stick with my daughter!!.. now you have One of your creation in Italy too!
That’s great to hear!!! Thanks for letting me know. Glad you enjoyed the project.
cool I am creating my own lacrosse head for girls much more involved but you have inspired me to push ahead!
Absolutely Cool. Thinking of making one for the fun of it.
It’s a pretty fun project.
That's rad - I immediately grabbed the materials and I’ll see how it turns out tomorrow!
How'd it go?
Unfortunately, my head turned out very crude... my PVC pipe was to thick to flatten efficiently. I ended up just cutting the shape out of the curved pipe. I didn't know if my belt sander was in good condition, and didn't want to spend a lot of time sanding with just sandpaper.

I still shaped the plastic into a head though, and that process went well. So I guess the biggest problem with the final product was just that some parts ended up too thin or unequal. I really want to try again when I have time, though.
Nice try though!
Awesome video and idea! Kinda want to make one for fun now
Damn, there goes another project on the list
You should make the mesh for it too
I thought about it, but since I already came up with the knotted mesh, and did a video on it, I didn’t really feel like doing it again. When it got to the stringing, I was ready to be done ;-)
You could make a whole homemade stick.head,mesh(in other video),and a wooden shaft.
thanks very helpfull i'm going to use is thanks again ..an +idea may you'll need somewhere after heating and shaping just put ice spray and voila you dont have to wait..
My high school is having there first ever lacrosse team in spring I never played the sport but I'm very interested so I wanted to prepare so I can join. Anyways what is the size of the template
I would use this! Good job!
It’s pretty fun to play with.
This head costs $7 but the Boombah Compressor costs $5. I am sure it will sell out soon or not stay that price forever. Great video. Very innovative without expensive materials.
$5 is just clearing old stock.
RedStarLacrosse interesting, excited to see what new products they have coming.
I don’t know for sure if they’re clearing old stock, but it seems like it. I REALLY hope they’re coming out with new stuff, and not just giving up on lacrosse.
I love it man! You should of made the mesh out of something also though! You made plenty of videos of will it string! Lol anyways, I love it! GTG
I like the shirt you wore at the beginning of the video :)
Thanks! It’ll be avaialable on my store soon!
That’s a real WARP head!
I will have to keep you posted. I am doing this as soon as possible. Now I just need to figure out a ball. Maybe a weighted tenis ball or something. I gotta think about it.
Can't wait to see it!
Great video. Just curious, is that a 1” diameter PVC pipe you used to build the head ?
I don't believe it was 1". I think it was 2"
Respect
Tim Bracken 👊🏼
Nice job gandolph
Watching at work.
Awesome
Wow this is so cool
Hi
Can you some time please do an update on this video with a template?
I want to make my own stick, but I can't find any templates like the one you used at 4:15 in the video... :)
This is still an awesome video!
For the template I just sketched a shape out on cardboard I thought might work. It was a total guess.
Okay
Thank you very much!
Can you use it in a game!?
Another idea for a shaft is more pvc, it may not be the strongest thing in the world but it will work
It would definitely work. Might be kind of fun too with how flexible it would be.
My school has a program on the computers where u can make 3D models and I wanna 3D print a head
Definitely do some research on heads like the sidewall design, offset and face shapes to design a head in that program.
mad respret bro
Thanks man!
RedStarLacrosse up
#1 victory royale
This better meet ncaa standards
Troon Houlton 😂
😂 not so much.
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
First like too
is it easy to break
you have reference to size and shape. if you could reference this it would help our builds.
I don't have any kind of measurements. I just winged it.
Review? Any chance you will make a more refined one in the future? This is great!
I might revisit this and try to fine-tune it.
Reminds me of the gait asylum
Why does your head have a Fortnite sticker? 5:18
That’s a dye I did a few months ago.
Would faceingoff work with this beauy?
Fiffi since pvc is relatively flexible it could work. I'd actually use CPVC for that though since it's about 50x more shatter resistant and more flexible
First lacrosse
At the beginning of the video, there was a model of the head on the paper, where can I find that model
I just drew it. Unfortunately I don't have the paper anymore. You can trace a head, and then fine tune it...maybe.
@@redstarlacrosse Well can you draw pls I need tomorrow my instagram = teoman_cavus i send dm your profile pls
I have no chance to make a mistake so
@@teon_dublaj Really sorry, but I am VERY busy with work, and cannot spare the time to draw it for you unfortunately.
@@redstarlacrosse okey np
Can you do a goalie head?
Maybe!
i looks like a lazer hiwall
My dream was to have a lacrosse stick or to make one but i think you are good at making one i think i want you to make me five of those because i was wondering if my family can play with me and of course they will always say yes i always hear the word yes from my family and if your in canada can you please bring me five or if your in a different country also
First
Remember diy mesh I actually made it
Could someone actually play a game with a homemade head of it met the measurements for a legal head?
I guess if you got the measurements right it might be legal, but I really don’t know for sure.
Anyone in Amherst for warrior
do you have a drawing of a lacrosse stick?

Why is it called “Red Star Lacrosse?” Seems related to communism
Nothing to do with communism. The California state flag has a red star and a bear on it, and I am from California. California's use of the red star predates the existence of state communism.
