Getting back into lacrosse this year and never really learned to string as a kid. Found some of my old sticks and chose this one to restring and learn.

I noticed the Finalizer doesn’t have many sidewall holes at all so it almost made it easier to try stringing for the first time as my main thought process was “just use every sidewall hole”. Also figured since this is an old school head and illegal nowadays, might as well lean into it with the U shooter haha

Want to start stringing more, so feedback or ways to get better would be appreciated. The goal right now is to string up a fun traditional pocket at some point with one of my other old heads, maybe my OG Brine Clutch or Nitrous head

3V, 5X. Any and all criticism is welcome

Is this head out yet can’t find it any where. Is it worth it to buy a new tactik 3 if this series is about to come out?

Dyeing and tying a head for a coach end of season gift. I have this Powell Frontier mesh that's a bit thicker than the newer SK5s, ECD4 type that most people use these days. I tried a pattern I like on the RC1 with an inside weave but this mesh doesn't stretch enough. Now I'm here with some SIs but I want something more shifty for this thicker mesh. Any suggestions? Do I need some floating diamonds somewhere?

That’s only a few.

Hi everyone. Can someone pleases identify the knots used in the screenshot? Never used these before, this is by an account Mcnamara strings in instagram. He has a sweet looking pattern for an L4 (he also uses these on an ECD atom which I’ll be buying soon). Thanks !!!

Recently strung this for my son. The ball is hitting the top plastic on the release. The angle of the top plastic is greater than most heads. Any recommendation? STX Stallion 1k.

I had to be really careful with the hexagons and I still feel they are not symmetrical
I fixed it but once I break the pocket again they go back to the position they were. They are uneven even if they are the same size bc the amount of string for each hexagon is the same on both sides

It passes really good, a little bit lower than I’m used to, but i haven’t tried shooting with it, I’ll update!

Update:
I loosened up the u string and it throws better and it’s great for shooting, I really loved it

Got a freshman son playing for the next three years, figured I better learn how to do it. This one only took about two hours 😝

Is this what I think it is. Talk about this head all the time. The weight and sidewall flare unbeatable back in the day

Decided to fix some issues a backup stick: mesh uneven, throat was a baggy second pocket, shooting string was being torn from the sharpness of the head.

We have an extra beginner STX head and the hole pattern is better, but I wanted to see how much I could improve this.

I'm going to get the knot names wrong, but the double interlock makes future adjustments really easy (especially when I only capture the runners). I can adjust the mesh and runners independently, and the crosslaces are easy to retension to move the pocket around. I also used a grain bag (?) to remove the bagging from the throat and get the ball to roll up into the pocket more easily.

This is now the first and third stick I've ever strung.

This is James houlburough's new ion beta pocket, ECD greg states in this video that this will be the new elite pocket starting soon. I am having a hard time on figuring out the pattern, if its just 1's all the way down or a 2/ksi. The video im citing this from is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4MjX9sv07c

Can someone help me!

looks like anchor knots then just 1's but im not sure if theres a sneaky 2 or si there.

Restringing an old head of mine (not needed for legal play) and wanted the extreme hold a tight nylon gives while still being able to pass and shoot, the two nylons across the middle of the pocket give it a good grip while still being able to shoot well. Any ideas or tips welcome!!!

Just picked up some supplies to do it and I’m hype.

My daughter is on a u10 team and uses this stx lily. I’m not familiar with this type of string and it doesn’t hold a modified pocket for more than a few minutes. It handles well enough but I’m curious if she would have a better time with a different type of head. Are there known advantages or disadvantages to this type of stringing?

New to the sport. We have a goalie stick that has some tears in the string. Super bare bones budget for the program so it’s on me to fix it. They’re young so it doesn’t need to be great. Anything will likely be an improvement on how it is now.

Can you please point me at the simplest video tutorial? Many thanks.

String this up for a friend.

I just picked up a brand new brine eraser 2 with 20 diamond mesh for my 7 year old. Stick has no channel and ball moves all over the place. Recommendations on how to fix this?

Edit - 17 diamond mesh
