Guardian manufacturers a limited amount of PEARL X NFHS stamped lacrosse balls. PEARL X, PEARL LT, and PEARL DUAL X balls are all SEI certified to meet NOCSAE/NCAA standards for game play and are stamped with NOCSAE/SEI certification markings. We also manufacture PEARL X white and yellow balls that include the NFHS stamp, if requested by
Lacrosse Ball Resurfacing invalidates the NOCSAE certification standard which allows the lacrosse ball to be SEI certified for game play. When used lacrosse balls are resurfaced, they have been altered to a different condition than when initially tested and certified. Such changes to a ball through resurfacing can reduce a ball’s weight and circumference and

PEARL X, PEARL NX, and PEARL DUAL X balls are manufactured in the United States. Our raw materials and manufacturing process is in Georgia.
PEARL NX lacrosse balls use an even more intricate chemistry than the PEARL X ball. This costs us a little more so we had to mark the price up but still wanted to keep it lower than traditional training balls.

PEARL NX balls are the same size, weight, and softness as PEARL X and LT official game balls but without the bounce, so players no longer have to practice with a ball that’s
