| A Gamebreaker: The High-Ball Pocket and You |
| Goalies do not like our Zebra Heads. Not at all. They have 'trouble seeing' the head. Which, for shooters, is a very good thing. The good folk at the Royal Society in Great Britain published an article that helps us understand why. According to John A. Endler zebra stripe camouflage is a function of "disruptive coloration." Simply, 'disruptively colored elements (stripes) distract attention and break up the body outline, making detection difficult." (Thayer 1909; Cott 1940; Stevens & Cuthill 2006). It is also noted that a study by Schaefer & Stobbe (2006) shows that the advantage of disruptive patterns is greater when disruptive patterns have higher contrast. Disruptive coloration has also been proven effective regardless of the background coloration, 'exploiting predators cognitive mechanisms of prey recognition." Copyright © 2006 The Royal Society Competitive Bottom Line: our Zebra's heads' "disruptive coloration" is an effective means of confusing the visual system, serving to break up the head's outline, especially when moving at speed. |

| (the best), and then we made your wishes our engineers commands. You wished for a super-light NCAA/X head configured NCAA/X Savage7, used primarily by middies and D-men. The Ghost7 is designed for offensive players, of all ages. It weighs a mere 3.59 ounces (102 grams), the lightest head in the game. he upshot of the low weight is that, combined with our High-Ball Pocket, it’s a big leap forward in improved ‘feel.’ We mastered ‘hold,’, and now we’ve taken ‘feel’ to the next level. Which will help you take your game to the next level. Because, as with all our gear, it lets you tap into and ride your instincts. We are happily obsessed with high performance, and we know that the best players are those that Ride the 85, those who have released their inner beast. Increased hold enhances confidence, which gets you closer to your instinct. Increased ‘feel’ is all about instinct. The more you feel the ball, the less you have to think about it. Less Thinking=More Instinct. More Instinct=More Trophies. More Trophies=More Happy. (see Sector7 on our website for more gobbledygook on Riding the 85.) |

We know that the Tribe7 story began over 500, maybe even 1000 years ago. When the game we love originated, in the
Tribes added the Tuscarora in 1720, becoming the Six Nations. The Seventh Nation? Everybody.
Tribe7 is a natural progression, representing the entire Lax playing Planet, the Universal Lax Family. That's why we say
Tribe7 is you. We're simply the big Tribe's equipment managers Our job is to provide the highest performance gear, at
the fairest price. Your job is to have some fun, and kick some butt with it.
Why are you prices so low?
We do not think they are low. The other prices are too high. That and we are a direct seller. We do not have the
'middlemen' and retail 'price markup' that other lacrosse gear manufacturers have. We recognize that our low prices do
not fall into the 'get what you pay for' paradigm that we generally believe in.
We make the best gear. Shouldn't we charge the most for it? Shouldn't the best have a premium price? Absolutely! A
Ghost7 with a High Ball pocket, with an Element7 shaft? Reviewing the market, we should probably charge $300.00 per
stick. Or $350.00. To make it more attractive. Alas, we're on a Mission.....

Higher performance, fairer prices, helps make a better, bigger, game. Tribe7 was founded when a group of long time
lacrosse community members noticed that our that our beloved game’s equipment prices had gotten out of hand. The
only real innovation we could find since we’d played in college was a quintupling in price. Pretty much the same stuff, but
five times as expensive. We did not like the idea that lax was becoming more like polo than soccer, cost wise, So we set
out to serve the community as it’s equipment steward. Providing the highest performance gear, at the fairest price. We
don’t like to talk pricing though, we prefer to discuss how to crush. How to crush the competition, on the field and off.
