8 Diamond Lacrosse Mesh

8 diamond lacrosse mesh sits between 6D and 10D. It has bigger diamonds than standard mesh for more hold, without as much whip as 6D. As a result, many players choose 8 diamond mesh when they want a little more feel than 10D.

What 8 diamond lacrosse mesh means

Diamond count is the number of diamonds across one row of mesh. Because 8D has fewer diamonds per row than 10D, each diamond is larger and holds the ball a little differently. In practice, that gives you more hold than 10 diamond mesh and less whip than 6 diamond mesh.

How 8D compares with other diamond counts

However, the right diamond count depends on your position and your stringing pattern. For example, 6 diamond mesh adds more whip, while 10 diamond mesh is the standard for men's field lacrosse.
