Lax Sak Soft Practice Lacrosse Balls - Softer, Low Bounce Practice

In this review of the Lax Sak Soft Practice Lacrosse Balls the bottom line is simple: these are practice-focused balls for players who need the same weight and size as a regulation ball but want a gentler, lower-bounce option. The set is aimed at youth players, beginners and indoor gym sessions where hard, fast rebounds can be a safety or cleanup problem. The single biggest reason to buy is the soft outer fabric paired with regulation weight and size, which reduces pain and chase time while preserving the look and feel of a real lacrosse ball.

Key Features

• Same size and weight: Matches the dimensions and feel of a regulation lacrosse ball so practice translates directly to game play.
• Softer outer fabric: A shock-absorbent cover reduces sting on impact, which helps new players gain confidence during drills.
• Low bounce, minimal rebounds: Designed to limit rollaway and rebounds so more time is spent training and less time retrieving balls.
• Indoor and outdoor use: Suitable for hardwood gyms and outdoor fields because the softer surface is gentler on floors and reduces damage risk.
• Good for goalie training: Easier to scoop and less intimidating for goalies during repeated drills, improving practice efficiency.

Who It's For

These practice balls are ideal for youth coaches, lacrosse programs that run indoor training, parents teaching beginners, and goalies doing repetitive scoop and save drills. The soft construction makes them particularly good where player comfort and safety are priorities, or where hardwood floors mean a standard hard ball would cause damage.

Players seeking the exact rebound and hard feel of a regulation game ball should look elsewhere; advanced players who want full-speed, tournament-like bounces will prefer a standard hard lacrosse ball for game simulation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, shock-absorbent cover reduces pain from impacts and helps new players stay confident in practice.
• Regulation size and weight preserve familiar handling and passing mechanics.
• Low bounce and minimal rollaway keep drills efficient and reduce time spent retrieving balls.
• Works well indoors on hardwood and for goalie training drills where repeated saves are practiced.

Cons

• Some users report seam durability issues and a firmer, hackey-sack-like texture on a few balls, so longevity may vary by pack and usage.
