Legal or Not?

Legal or Not?

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 ?

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!

Pocket help

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.

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.

Does anyone have a tutorial of this sidewall pattern?

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.

5x vs 5s

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

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

Trying something out

My son just started playing lacrosse (12u) this past season for school and I kind of got into stringjng… had a couple of ideas I wanted to try and see if it could be done. I wanted to do a mesh entirely of knotted cord with thinner cords in the middle and I wanted to see how a traditional stinging would do with thicker cords instead of leathers.

On the knotted cord one I wanted to make bigger diamonds in the pocket and control the pocket placement with the knots and spacing/size of diamonds.

I’ll end up redoing them both just because I see things I want to fix in both but I welcome and would appreciate any feedback back.

Finding Nike CEO 2

I’ve been seeing a few college guys rocking brand new Nike CEO 2’s for the last 2-3 seasons, and wondering where they are finding these. I don’t mean a big time program like Syracuse giving John Mullen a brand new one every week, I’m talking mid-sized d3 and MCLA D1 and 2 guys getting their hands on brand new ones consistently.

Yes, I know the 3 is out and the 4 should be coming out before the year ends, but I’m specifically looking for the 2 for nostalgia reasons.

Does anyone know where (other than overpriced on SidelineSwap) I can find one?

Would floating interlocks be better or no?

So as seen above, I have two pictures. Both are E3's, and both have/ will have interlocks going down the sidewalls. I want to know if I should continue on with this pattern I'm currently working on, with the only difference being the first picture is floating interlocks, and the second is standard.
