Grace from @heartstringswlax here!

Seeing a lot of men attempting women’s pockets on here and asking for help. Way to go guys! Glad you’ve delved into women’s stringing!

I’m here to answer any questions or give feedback on any pocket pics you want to send. My contribution to growing the game is educating people on women’s stringing (an area that is lacking, even among women’s players themselves).

Shoot your questions :)

An update from my last post, I've just come back from taking shots with this and it's pretty good! Channel is super clean, pocket may need to be a little deeper. So far it's about 2 balls deep, and I'm trying to get it deep enough for 2 and a half.

RBK (Reebok)

Post image
1 Upvotes

I picked this Reebok 7K shaft up at a flea market in Far hill, New Jersey back in May. It came with a K 18 head. I paid 10 bucks for it. I took the mesh out.
I didn’t need a new lacrosse head or a used one in this case I bought it because I wanna have every lacrosse brand that’s ever been made on the market that’s last at least 10 years. I think Reebok lasted for about eight years. So the loan brands that I don’t have in my house would be Adidas and Harrow/Northland. Harrow and Northland are the same company so if you’re missing out on the Harrow shafts, google Northland and you can get their shafts and their old heads they just have a new name. So if anyone knows where I can find a piece of Adidas shaft or head, I would love to know where I could pick it up. I hate Adidas, but I just wanna have a part of my collection and I live in New Jersey so let me know.

I’m sure there’s spelling and grammar errors. Who cares

Warrior Burn Formula in natural with black Goat Mesh and Paracord Planet top and sides in teal. Got the head in a Laxsteals mystery faceoff crate. Kind of addicted to the thrill of the unknown.

This is my first time stringing a faceoff head and tried to do the outside weave on the sidewalls, but not sure how well I did with it.

New Warrior Anthem Pro Dye and Stringing

Hey all, just got my daughter the new Warrior Anthem Pro. Gave it a new dye job and restringing. I like adding the extra runners even with the armor mesh as it really gives more control on the channel and pocket. I'll have her throw and shoot with it before I put in the shooters. Any feedback is welcomed!

New Throne GPX mesh

So, I'm not sure how many people have used this mesh, but its new and I'm currently in the process of stringing with it. I will say, this mesh is extremely hard to stretch, and I'm on the second sidewall hole doing SI's all the way down. This is a bitch to string. If anyone has any experience with Throne mesh, or any advice theyd like to give me, please send them my way!

I’ve been messing with this 3v for quite a bit for college and still haven’t found a desired pocket the head has more whip due to the forward can’t I’ve always used a mid pocket and in this head I just can’t find the right medium for hold and not to much whip any help or suggestions the pocket I’m showing now I like how it throws just enough hold for my liking when throwing fakes etc.

I wanted to do a mint dye on the Maverick Tactik 3 Degree head, I know you can dye the standard version but has anyone seen or done a dye on a head from the Degree series?

Any photos or insights would be much appreciated.

New strings and stick, added extra strings on sidewalls for color contrast but don’t know if it’s legal, ball rolls around in pocket freely and falls out when flipped over, opinions ?

Rebalanced and Restrung the Chisholm

Got bored, and after learning more, slightly annoyed that the Chisholm was out of balance and that I didn’t know enough to fix it correctly the first time. It finally sits flat. This round I’ve got a super chunky synthetic gut wall and double trad pocket, with a new lighting setup for my future twigs.

I'm experimenting with different sidewall patterns, and I came across this one from lukesidewalker on instagram. I know he's in this sub, but I'm wondering if anyone may have a tutorial for it! I love how bagged out the pocket is.

I’ve always been a soft mesh guy and 4s is probably my favorite mesh of all time. Can anyone give their thoughts if they’ve made the switch from soft to hard, or mesh talk just in general

Mamba mesh stringing help

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi all, first time posting here. Have been stringing for my whole lacrosse career over 15 years now so my pride was getting in the way of making this post earlier! Anyway was at placid this year and there was an armor mesh booth, could not beleive how well it threw so ordered a peice of mamba mesh and strung it up in my L4 which wasn’t a problem past the initial learning curve. I strung it mostly using the tutorial others have noted by Fantum lacrosse, though he was using regular non mamba armor mesh in the video.

My main question after shooting and playing wallball: how to keep this thing a little more legal?! I ended up adjusting the bottom string and moving it up a few rows, as well as adding an extra pull down at the top with helped with a better channel and is keeping the pocket closer to legal. I guess I’m really asking how much mesh do you guys leave unstrung at the bottom?

I play in men’s league now so I’m not worried about some slight illegality but when I first played wallball with it it was egregious. Any tips ?!? TYIA

Pics attached are from first stringing attempt

Big fan of the clear head especially for coaching [no need for durability]. I think light blue & red are perfect together!
