okay so my brother bought this in june and it works great for him but then about 3 weeks ago i got this and mine is already super soft. like softer than my brothers who has had it for wayyyy longer. I suggest going with STX
ya heres what i did. i strung it traditionaly but u can do double loop if you want and i put hair condisioner in the pocket with a ball forced against the pocket with a knive between the side wall and the mesh then soak it in a bath tub with really hot water for 30 min (put the condishioner on right before it goes in the tub like 5 seconds after u put condishioner on put it in) hope this helps
and btw, it comes with enough string for 2 side wall sticks; there are two Very long sidewall strings(if u dont do anything crazy with the stringing) and there are 2 top laces. there are only 3 shooting strings and 2 foam things that go at the bottom of your head.
i just recently got this and an stx proton power and the damn plastic tips on the sidewalls strings do not fit through the holes. do not ever get this.
wow, im sorry but if you bought this and were too weak to get the plastic tips through, then im sorry but thats sad.
What you have to do with these (on a proton power at least) is take some pliers and squeeze the plastic tips so they are CIRCULAR, that way they fit, although admittedly the strings are a tight fit.
i have tried to use so many different types of meshes and warrior hard mesh is easily the best. it doesn't need constant readjustments and the pocket stays right were you originaly put it.
ok i got soft mesh on the stick i got it shoots fine and everything but like sometimes when i practise for a while the meshing will start to loosen up and start letting off the top and i was wondering if traditional or this meshing (the warrior hard meshing) will help that so i will have to not adjust it as much?
switch up to hard mesh. u wont regret it.
but keep in mind this has to BREAK IN.
you can string a border line legal pocket out of the bag because it will get deeper. a lot of people do that and then have to restring and cant get the same pocket they had so they get frustrated. dont let it happen to you
if you dont want to restring you stick,tighten the strings with plyers and titen the top shooting string and titen the second shotting string a little but no much. but if i were you i would switch to hard mesh. yes that other person was rite that it needs a break-in period. wut you can do to make it faster and alot less frustrating is to soak the mesh in hot water and then rub it down in lotion and then soak it again. this works. it'll feel broken in so you can get the pocket you like and not have it be illegal
the instructions are for the evo pro and i strung one (evo pro) like it says just for fun and the pocket is extremely crappy!!! its tight at the bottom and so loose in the top that is almost imposible not to get a lip, i dont care how many shooters u use.
just make a pocket that fits your head or playing style.
does this come with a screw to attach the head to the shaft? i got one before and i seem to remember it including a screw but the picture doesn't show one.
your regualar(not the first hochey lace..the sidewall string)Should be tight....and then you must only slighty tightin the first hochey lace...the losen the all the others
to string a stick so it hooks more you either tighten the shooting strings or you make the pocket deeper, but first try tightening the shooting strings
does this mesh have like a ton of whip before its broken in? i just restrung my head and it has a TON of whip the sidewalls are tight and i dont think my shooters are very tight.
switch up the taughtness of the top shooter so it stops it from throwing off the top and then the second one down should be a bit looser than the top one but keep the other ones relatively loose
Warrior mesh is better than brine to me. I had a prestrung clutch and the mesh basically became trash once I put it in water and the warrior ones I like a lot. The separate hard mesh pieces are also pretty good.
ok then wat is the diffrence between them u tard!! ive had dura rail mesh before..so u see DURA and ive had hard mesh before...u see how i have both?? U think i should quit the sport...i think u need to take a look and see how stupid u sond...i have to talk sssslllloooowwwwlllyyyy to u...so just keep ur mouth shut and stay off the field
there should be a statute on berating people.
at least TRY not to beat the english language into the ground.
and yes, there is a vast difference.
the dura mesh feels plasticy and looses its form very quickly, and is generally awefull.
warrior is your best bet when it comes to stringing a head.
i was gonna get either a voyce or clutch strung here but im worried the mesh will get soft. does it get soft or should i just get it unstrung with this mesh?
p.s. i play attack if that makes a difference
buy the head and sting it yourself. it comes with instuctions and you dont have to change something if you need to with them stinging it. you can get it howevber u want if u string it urself. i sting my own heads
hey i am a junior in lacrosse and i just ordered this kit does anyone know the best way to string the
shooting strings so that it is good for my position thanks....
I've used both, but i prefer hard. 6 diamond has a slight advantage in hold, but hard mesh still has a quick break in time, and once you have a nice pocket the hold is good, and the pocket doesnt change in wet weather as much. hard also has a smoother release with less whip(also depends on pocket placement)
people think that they have to have the best people string their heads you should just string your head so then u get good at it because when you dont string your head you dont no whats wrong with it.
I'm only a 2nd year player so i dont no much but, does hard or soft mesh matter? its dry where i live during lax season so if it does what should i get?
this is a stringing kit for your stick. Thats why its under stringing supply with all the mesh and stuff. I would recommend getting a Warrior net instead. Its a lot bigger and easier to attach.
you guys dont have to be negative about this cuz he might not know this oh and all you gotta do is go to models or sumtin they sell it for like 20 or 30 bucks hope this helped.
hard mesh is alot more durable and holds a pocket better. personally i hate soft mesh but its really all personal preferance. if you play somewhere where you get a alot of rain and or snow like i do. deffinatally go with hard mesh. other then that you just need to find what you like.
if you are new then soft mesh would be best. once u get better then move to hard mesh. 6 diamond is better for attack so stick to the hard mesh once you get better.
6 diamond isnt better for attack... hard mesh is
i play attack and 6 diamond just slows down ur shots.. theres more friction with the wider holes which slows down ur shot even more
Six diamond has larger holes in the mesh, it has a good combination of hold and speed, but can sometimes have whip to it. Hard is the most popular and features smaller holes, it has good hold and shot speed as well, and has a nice smooth release. I had six on my evo 2.0 for a season playing attack and it was ok, but i switched back to hard, its much smoother.
i hate how everyone alsways thinks that the head controls the whip, or that the whip is based on your shotting strings. well im gona let you in on a little secret. the bottom sidewall sting is where whip come from. the more you want the looser that string should be. just thought everyone should know.
the powell pocket is the same thing as the players pocket, they just had to change the name becuase mike powell went to brine and left warrior. its the same pocket
Soft mesh is nice becuase it doesnt take much if not anything to break it in vs. the hard mesh especially monster mesh which take numerus hours of wedgeing a ball in the head with a rod or pencil or something. But the pocket is more pernounced in the hard meshhh
