WHIP: In a lacrosse stick, when the ball is hooked by the mesh, shooting strings, pocket, or plastic it will leaves the stick early. When a stick has a high amount of whip, and the player follows through overhand to the target with his stick, the ball will be hooked and throw down or low.
PROPER STICK LENGTHS BY PLAYERAttack and midfielders need a short stick measuring between 40 and 42 inches. Defensive and midfield players should try a longer shaft of 52 to 72 inches. Goalies can have a stick between 40 and 72 inches based on their preference.

Lacrosse sticks are used for a number of important functions including: passing the ball, shooting, and checking other players.
Now for most players, if you add a shooting string below that row it will be too whippy. This is because the lacrosse mesh needs to expand when the ball hits that point and if a shooting string is there it will restrict it.
If the highest point of the head is more than 2 3/4 inches off the table, then your stick is illegal. Refs will also look for relative straightness in other directions. There are also measurement tests to see if your lacrosse head and shaft are legal.
The Semi Hard version is best if you prefer a stiffer pocket with smooth release and increased accuracy. Hero Mesh Semi Soft carries a much softer feel allowing the ball to move in your pocket during cradling, passing and shooting for increased control and feel.
A mid pocket is a pocket that can be used by anyone really. A middie, attack, defenseman can use them. They are the most versatile and perform the best in my opinion. You don't have to worry about taking one hand off the stick or anything like that.
Shooting Strings – If you still feel like your stick doesn't have enough whip after adjusting the bottom string, you can also tighten the shooting strings. Begin with the top one and work your way down. Remember that shooting strings should be loosest at the bottom and tightest at the top.
