This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your WARRIOR Burn Next Lacrosse Stick. Designed for starters and developing players, this strung complete stick is engineered to help refine stick skills. Please read this manual thoroughly before using your new lacrosse stick.
Setup
The WARRIOR Burn Next Lacrosse Stick is provided as a strung complete unit, meaning the head is already attached to the handle and strung with mesh, making it ready for immediate use. No assembly is typically required.
Upon unboxing, inspect the stick for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure the head is securely attached to the handle and that the mesh stringing is taut and uniform.

Operating
The Burn Next Lacrosse Stick is designed for intermediate players aged 12 and under, as well as adult men. Its features are optimized for improving ball control and accuracy.
- Ball Control and Accuracy: The narrower head, strung with semi-soft mesh, is specifically engineered to enhance ball control and improve shot and pass accuracy.
- Ground Ball Pickups: The head features an EZ-Scoop design, which facilitates easier ground ball pickups, a crucial aspect of lacrosse play.

Proper technique and practice are essential to fully utilize the stick's capabilities. Focus on cradling, passing, shooting, and ground ball drills to maximize your performance.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your WARRIOR Burn Next Lacrosse Stick.
- Cleaning: After use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, wipe down the stick with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Mesh Inspection: Periodically check the mesh and strings for wear, tears, or looseness. A well-strung head is crucial for consistent performance. If the mesh becomes too loose or damaged, it may need restringing or replacement.
- Shaft Inspection: Inspect the shaft for dents, bends, or cracks. While durable, impacts can cause damage.
- Storage: Store the stick in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, which can degrade materials over time.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your lacrosse stick.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ball not staying in pocket / Inconsistent throws | Loose or worn mesh/strings; damaged pocket. | Inspect mesh for tears or looseness. Re-tighten strings if possible, or consider restringing/replacing the head. |
| Shaft feels wobbly or loose | Head not securely attached to the shaft. | Check the screw connecting the head to the shaft. Tighten if loose. If the screw hole is stripped, professional repair may be needed. |
| Difficulty picking up ground balls | Incorrect scooping technique; worn or damaged EZ-Scoop. | Practice proper scooping technique. Inspect the bottom of the head for excessive wear or damage that might hinder scooping. |
