Blue Collar Lacrosse

About The Product

No longer are we going to hear tales of this so-called perfect combination of hard and soft mesh. This is the mesh that even has die hard "traditional" Lacrosse players switching.

Marc Leveille has formulated a unique chemistry known as Mesh Butter. It begins as a wax base solution that is mixed, cooked, churned, and then set until a butter-like substance is formed. It is then spread from corner to corner over a top quality 6.6 nylon 100% American made mesh.

The primary reason that people choose the Marc Mesh™ is for its superior performance and dependability. Marc Mesh™ is ready to go today, tomorrow and the big game; rain or shine.

For those who like color and feel it is a big part of Lacrosse we offer you these 30 standard colors. WE CAN MATCH ANY JERSEY COLOR. Check and make sure that it is legal in the league you are playing in first. The following are some interesting comments that we've received from the pros that currently use the Marc Mesh™:

• Players are better able to focus on sticks "on the move or in a crowd" and pass more accurately.
• Players stop battling their own team mates under fierce ground ball fighting.
• Looks cool.
• Personalizes what any Lacrosse player holds most dear, their pocket.

The two color stick below is our standard multi-color mesh. We recommend the team's primary color on the bottom and a secondary color at the top. We can do custom dye jobs but it can get a little pricey and there are limits as to what looks good or can even be seen on a mesh. Inquires about custom colors are welcome and can be made on our contact page.

The People

Blue Collar is commited to the game of Lacrosse. With the creation of Marc Mesh™, we believe that we have heightened the level of play and enjoyment for both experienced players and those who are just arriving.

The History

As a player, Marc Leveille first began working on sticks over 35 years ago. He had a knack that soon caught the eyes of his teammates and before long, he was stringing their sticks.

Marc was stringing sticks long before the mass production of the "Tupperware" heads that came in the early eighties. What they lacked in "woody" tradition, they made up for in practicality.

His skills as a stick-stringer evolved, and his passion for the art set fire. His methods and innovations were heralded throughout Southern Ontario, a hotbed of Canadian Lacrosse.

With his skill in high demand, Marc began to compile mass amounts of mesh. Marc always felt that the mesh available could be improved. Having excess, he began to experiment, altering its texture and feel. This was the beginning of Marc Mesh™.

Marc Mesh™ is crafted by hand. The First Nations believed that the pocket was the heart and soul of the stick. They also strongly believe that in order for your stick to develop a soul the stick must be made by hand. Each Marc Mesh™ is buttered using Marc's very own method; individually by hand of course.

In the spirit of family, Marc kept his secrets for stringing and mesh-culturing in the tribe, teaching his son Joel everything he knows. In a classic case of pupil rising above mentor, Joel has begun giving his father a run for his money as Southern Ontario's top stick doctor.

Proudly, we recognize that Marc and Joel's passion for improving the stick is the foundation of Blue Collar Lacrosse. Their reputation has earned them honor to have strung the most pro players sticks in Lacrosse history.

In A Nutshell

Mesh

• Mesh Butter has a quick break in time (1 hour or less)
• Mesh Butter gives the mesh a unique memory that customizes the mesh to your very own signature catching and throwing style
• Mesh Butter increases a mesh's typical lifespan
• Mesh Butter grips the ball providing added friction giving you a capability to spin the ball when taking a rip
• Mesh butter makes mesh 4x more resistant to water. The key is preventing bag-out.
• Mimics a traditional pocket better than any other mesh

Shooters

• Our shooters are designed for one thing: Shooters! Our strings are specifically woven for no bulge amplifying your shot, instead of slowing it down or misguiding it. We use a tighter weave that along with the mesh keep their tension and shape better than "hockey laces."

Sidewalls

• Reinforced sidewall strings that are manufactured by the same people who make rope for the military. They have 440lbs of breaking strength with the perfect give.
• These sidewalls are designed to last an entire season, even a draw man.

The biggest difference between Marc Mesh™ and the regular urethane coated "hard" mesh is this: urethane is meant to coat ropes with a thin, non-porous layer that keeps water out. It is designed not to break down. When it finally does, little cracks form in the shell defeating the urethane's original purpose of weatherproofing the mesh. Mesh Butter on the other hand quickly breaks into tiny fragments that allow the mesh to quickly form a pocket. Rather than coating the outside, Mesh Butter is applied right into the fibers of the Nylon; hence water has no place to go.

The Now...

It's not about flipping dimes into dollars, never has been, never will be. It's about Lacrosse. Staying true to the sport, Blue Collar is compelled to elevate the level of the game and the popularity of the game with the revolutionary, Marc Mesh™.
