which should i get. like i read all the comments but overall which one: this or the sidewall spool? and can you use this crosslace spool for sidewalls, tops, bottoms, and can you use this as a nylon shooting string? thanks

just use stringing with boomer on this site to learn how to string. dont get someone else to do it for you, cause then you cant tailor it to how you play.

I am pretty much the go to kid for stringing and dying on my team. if you want lace you can use for the sidewalls,topwall,and bottom go with crosslace.

do u use sidewall or crosslace string 4 pockets

What do u mean for pockets?

i cant find landing strip mesh anywhere besides the warrior kit do i have to make my own?

First off you forgot to mention the two things you were wondering about, but I will assume you are wondering what the difference between crosslaces and sidewall laces is. Crosslaces are a little thinner than sidewall laces and are more commonly used for stringing traditional pockets. Sidewall laces are a bit thicker and used for stringing (what else?) sidewalls, they can also be used for topstrings (however if you go to a lacrosse string specific store you can find topstring specific laces) so they are very versatile. Hope that helps.

Can this be used as a nylon shooting string????

It's weird but a lot of kids on my team have really expensive custom stringing, now i think it looks cool, but i have my clutch strung with old shoe ties that are laying around the house (granted they wear out fast) yet im better than most of them...Now tell me this is a "true" lacrosse player someone who strings their sticks with fancy pants strings or the one that loves the game so much that the color and "matchy-ness" of their strings don't matter?

Its not about how expensive your gear is or what you string your head with. Its about how you play the game and your love for the game.

LAX is very personal game. If you play best with aa fancy 200 dollar head than thats what you need. But, that doesn't mean you're better than evrybody else. I learned the hard way, I bought a Rock-It Pocket for 150 bucks on a Voyce. I loved the head HATED the stringing. So I strung it up myself and it couldnt be better.

I guess if you're no good at stringing, then really the only other option is getting a custom strung head and those are usually more expensive.

u gotta look good 2 play good

im stringing traditional and wanna know if this can be used for top and sidewall

you can go on there and get a crosslace spool that is nylon for $13

where can i get nylon??

How long would u make this string if u were a goaly

yes you can string this with sidewall or topwall. the only difference is that the string is thinner. Although stringing topwall with it can sometimes make it hit off of the plastic because it's not as strong. I string all my sticks with this

the crosslace doesntmake it roll off the end of your head. if the ball is doing that, then tighten the first shooting string

whats the difference between crosslace and sidewall string? or are they the same

can i use crosslace in place of nylon for a pita pocket?

IS THIS THE SAME AS SIDEWALL STRING JUST STRONGER AND CAN I STRING THE TOP WALL AND SIDE WALL WITH THIS? ANSWER PLEASE NEED HELP ASAP BTW IM A NEW STRINGER

dunno i have the same question

its the strings u use in a landing strip and i guess u could use it for sidewall but id just get a sidewall spool if ur not doing landing strip

I actually prefer this over sidewall string. you can use this for the sidewall and toplace

the crosslace string are more durable and frey less than sidewall string. just use this on a regular mesh stick instead of sidewall string.

is this the thick durable string? i need it for my top string

this also stretches much much more than normal sidewall. Use it for customs but not for mesh.

get off your ass and buy this stuff. you can string like 50 sticks for your friends and charge them like 5 bucks each time this easily pays off!!!

it is not very strong but if you put a coating of finger nail polish on your top strings works great trust me

you can string 600 sticks actually

$5? I charge $10 and thats only if they give me the materials! IF they just gove me an unstrunf head its $25!

is there a difference between crosslace spools and sidewall spools?

crosslace is thinner than sidewall

is this string good for traditional stringing

its needed for traditional dumbass

wow your cool. lets rip on the new stringers who dont know the difference. im jealous. i wish i could be half as cool as you are.

string does not last as long. very flexible and easy to feel the ball while the string lasts but breaks eazy

which is thicker sidewall or Crosslace?

it like half the height, and honestly its string it wont be different from place to place. so if your getting a set up from lax.com then just get this.

is this good to use as cross lace and sidewalls

i use it it breaks eazy use nail polish to put a hard layer on it

is this good string

Is this thing the same as teh side wallk stirng. I cant find anything saying that this is way different

Im pretty sure because there basically the same. when i string my heady i just use sidewall string for a crosslace

No it is not the same as sidewall this is a tiny bit thinner and knots easier. This could easily be used for side wall so it doesn't matter.

what is the difference between this and nylon?

this is stronger

Can I us this for sooting string.

you can but its called a nylon and its not as effective

how many heads will this string?

for a regular stick you use roughly 82inches of string. 36 for the topstring, 18x2 for each wall, and 10 for the bottom string(all the measurements are a little long). long story short, a lot of sticks.

44

i bought 5 yards of this stuff at my local lax store thinking it was sidewall, and i used it and it was actually pretty strong, especially on turf, turf rips up regular sidewall, i still use the crosslace now on my stick its been on there for about a year and a 1/2 and not one tear. i would go with this stuff.

I dont want to spend that much. So could someone tell me (about) how this this is (so i can go buy at like a hardware store or somthin) PLEASE! Thanks!

what do you use this stuff for is it the same as sidewall stuff

Can you use this as side wall too? if not then what is it used for

it's for custom/traditional pockets, but you can use it as sidewall string even though it's not quite durable as real sidewall string. But if you run a lighter over it a few times you'll toughen it up a bit, but make sure you don't melt or burn it.

how many stixs can this amount string??? plz answer

idk thats wat i was wonderen

a hell of a lot of sticks, depends on if you're doing regular traditional or a special pocket. if you do a pocket like the big word from stick-tech at e-lacrosse, u wont get as many sticks. it really just depends

I use this to attach my mesh to the sidewall. And it turns out great. My coaches, and a couple of pro plyers who have looked at my stick like it. So you can use it fo mesh. And I use sidewal string for the top. It is a bit stronger and looks better.

wat r u talking about

Great for top shooting string. Gives a nice, crisp, hard release. I use it cuz i can feel where the ball is released, in other words, it gives u more accurate, but sacrificing a little shot speed.

is it the same thing as a nylon

i wannna string up a custom stick so im gonna buy a spool of this. would it be ok if i used some for sidewalls too on another stick????

it won't last as long, but it will allow you to pull the mesh tighter to the head near the top.

i use it on mine i just have to re string it every so often to keep the string from breaking. put nail polish on it. it works trust me

yeah this is for stringing traditional or any other form of it...sidewall string is used for mesh pockets

i think they should have a customer appriciation day like a 2 for 1 sale or buy one get one free or somethin

is there any differnce between this stuff and the sidewall stuff ?

um yeah because i tried to use the sidewall stuff for the crosse lace on a tradional thing and it was just stupid so unless your trying to sting traditonal dont buy it

is this used to attach mesh to the head?

yes. and a lot of it

like what

this is for string custom sticks. buy sidewall string for attaching mesh.

how come every one says they attach thier mesh. how do u do this?

You string it.....

is this the stuff used to string traditional?

yeah this is the stuff you're looking for.

i hope so, im getting a whole spool of it
