***Greasers are rubber lacrosse balls that have condensed creating a slick exterior that doesn’t grip the pocket of the lacrosse stick as much as new balls. Most greasers should be removed from play because they fall out of spec and are too dense and hard to be played with safely.
Soft Lacrosse Balls #1 – Tennis Balls
Tennis balls are a great replacement for lacrosse balls when a hard ball should not be used.
You can find them used for cheap on Facebook Marketplace.
High school tennis programs will give them away in bulk after their season.
Soft Lacrosse Balls #2 – Pinky’s
Soft foam balls that mimic lacrosse balls when lacrosse balls should not be used.
No Bounce Balls – Pearl Lacrosse No Bounce Ball
No bounce balls transfer all of their kinetic energy into whatever they hit.
Get lots of reps shooting against a wall because they will not come back at the player as fast.
