From mesh kits to making equipment

I'm Chris, the founder of 5LAX. In eighth grade, I wanted to start a lacrosse company called Sololax. Through high school, I bought mesh from Jimalax, packed it into kits with my own graphics, and sold it through sololax.com. I promoted the site on lacrosseforums.com and learned how much work goes into turning an idea into something people can use.

I eventually closed that first business. In 2015, I bought a 3D printer and returned to product design, exploring ideas including a three-piece head and a quick-release head-to-shaft connection. Working as a product engineer at a lacrosse company helped me understand the details behind equipment design.

5LAX is a place to build a stick that feels like yours. Our lineup includes the white RC1, translucent RC1 N2O, and individually finished RC1 INK. The RC1 was developed with ReLax Collections, and its numbered sidewall holes give stringers a clear reference for recording their pockets.

We also offer mesh, one-off dyed and strung builds, and vintage and older heads. Each one-off listing tells you what is included and the condition of that individual item.

The idea is simple: useful equipment, room to experiment, and clear information about what you are buying. Our guides help with stringing preparation, dye planning and storage. The Lifetime-ish Warranty explains coverage for RC1, N2O and INK heads.
