Lax Sak Soft Practice Lacrosse Balls 12-Pack - Low Bounce Training

In this review of the Lax Sak Soft Practice Lacrosse Balls 12-Pack the bottom line is simple: these are practice-focused lacrosse balls designed to help beginners and youth players learn without the fear of the hard, high-bounce feel of regulation balls. The reviewer found the balls match regulation size and weight while offering a noticeably softer outer fabric that reduces sting on impact and limits rebounds, making indoor gym sessions and goalie drills more productive and less time-consuming because players spend less time chasing runaway balls.

Key Features

• Same size and weight: Matches the shape and mass of a regulation lacrosse ball so players train with realistic handling and passing feel.
• Softer outer fabric: The shock-absorbent cover reduces the sting from direct hits and is less intimidating for new players.
• Low bounce and minimal rebounds: Designed to stay near practice areas so drills require less retrieval time and run more efficiently.
• Indoor and outdoor use: Safe on hardwood gym floors and durable enough for typical outdoor practice surfaces.
• Good for goalie drills: Easier to scoop and less painful for goalies practicing saves, which encourages more reps.

Who It's For

The Lax Sak practice balls are ideal for youth programs, beginners, and coaches running indoor or mixed-surface practices who want realistic weight without the hard impact of regulation balls. The softer cover helps new players build confidence while learning passes, ground balls, and scooping technique.

Players or teams seeking competition-grade, high-durability game balls should look elsewhere; experienced players who want identical rebound and surface texture to a firm game ball may prefer a regulation ball for match preparation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Realistic weight and size make skill transfer to game balls straightforward.

• Softer, shock-absorbent cover eases confidence-building for beginners.
• Works well for indoor goalie and stickhandling drills without damaging floors.

Cons

• Some users report seam or texture durability issues over time with heavy use.
• The softer texture is not a perfect match for firm game-ball surface feel.
