if you live in alberta in canada i can string u a traditional pocket thats customized like a rocket pocket or a cobra pocket(if u dont know what a cobra pocket is look it up on you tube. the guys youtube name is westonfromcolorado)
pretty self-explainatory. sidewall is for attaching mesh to the head, or laying down a sidwall layer if youre stringing traditional. crosslace is the thinner strings that make up the majority of a traditional pocket. crosslace can also be used in place of sidewall string. keep on laxin
alright. just tell me everything different between this and the sidewall spool. i want to just use one spool for the whole stick (not shooting strings) thanks
sidewall is thicker and you can use it for a Sidewall or a nylon shooter
Crosslace you can use for everything, including customs like pitas turtles ect.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
