LAXWAX

Al and I first noticed Lax Wax back when it first came out in 2012. We had released the original JimaWAX! the year before, and struggled to figure out a way to keep JimaWAX! playing like new. Naturally, we decided to see what Lax Wax was all about... we were not disappointed. It made bringing our JimaWAX! back to life incredibly easy, and gave us a simple way to add a little bit of tackiness.

A few years went by, and in December of 2013 Lax Wax's founder, Jon, reached out to us about providing some Jimalax mesh for demo purposes at the 2014 US Lacrosse Convention at the Lax Wax booth. We had been privately using Lax Wax for years... it is an original, awesome product that complements our mesh line... of course we said "Yes".
 
We got a chance to meet Jon at the convention and were blow away by his passion for lacrosse and for his product. We decided it was time for Jimalax and Lax Wax to partner up officially.

Lax Wax is an organic blend of waxes and other special ingredients, and contains 2.5 ounces of Lax Wax per tube.

To celebrate Lax Wax's arrival to Jimalax, we are offering a tube of Lax Wax for only $9.99!!

What is Lax Wax?

Wax treated meshes loose their waterproofing characteristics after a few weeks, exposing the weave of the mesh to the elements. Lax Wax rejuvenates the pocket to its original state, but filling in the weave. When Lax Wax is used with a hard mesh, with a little heat, it breaks in the hard mesh in seconds and provides tack to make it feel more like a soft mesh, giving the player more control when cradling the ball. If the player plays with a soft mesh, the wax will grip the ball giving the player more control and can assist increased release velocity by allowing the user to bring the stick a little further back to generate more torque.

How It Works: Lax Wax penetrates the strings of the pocket as well as the sidewalls and shooting strings to cover the entire pocket. The user controls the amount and can reapply at any time in seconds. With a pretreated waxed mesh, Lax Wax can freshen up the wax level giving the pocket a fresh coating of tack and waterproofing. As the player uses their existing wax treated mesh, it can deteriorate and lose its waterproofing capabilities in just a few practices. Using Lax Wax will rejuvenate the meshes waterproofing characteristics with a fresh coat.

Why Lax Wax: With Lax Wax you can take a stick off the rack or your existing stick, no matter the pocket, apply and in seconds it is ready. If used on an existing stick, there is no break in time necessary and the player already knows how the stick will throw.

For The Elements: You don't have to use Lax Wax just for the rain or snow. Even in the brutal dry climates like Texas & Arizona, your pockets need to be conditioned. If untreated they become brittle & dry and you will blow out a sidewall. By applying Lax Wax, you are conditioning your strings prolonging the life of your pocket (Element-proofing).
