Gonzo Lacrosse's mesh leaves nothing to be desired. The mesh has everything you need, including a pre-formed channel. Moreover, it is coated in a secret recipe of ingredients that makes it superior to traditional soft or hard mesh pieces in every aspect. Traditional mesh pieces bag out and become inconsistent and unusable in the elements, and wax mesh pieces tend to lose their wax coating in a rapid fashion. Additionally, I'm pretty sure this mesh may negate rebounds for goalies.
