Did you know there are 3 distinct styles of stringing? Or that pocket break in shouldn't take more than 30-60 seconds? Have questions about dying heads and gear? Well you've come to the right place!
Post your heads that you've strung or if you have questions, ask!

So, J want essentially a mid high pocket and like very little whip and im curious if anyone knows how I can get one in the l3
What does a high flare do in a head? I went onto stringking to look at the mark 3v and it says it has a high flare, so what does this mean and how does it affect the head and the performance? And is there a such thing as a low flare? If not what would be the equivalent to that, and if it is a thing how does it compare to a high flare?
So I'm planning on doing a galaxy dye and I've got just about everything I need except the webbing spray. Every tutorial I've seen says to use Krylon brand spray, but for whatever reason everywhere near me craft and hardware stores are sold out or don't carry it. They do have other brands of the same type of spray. Would those also work or does it have to be Krylon? I would hate do get to that point and ruin the whole thing with the wrong spray.
This upcoming winter I’m playing in a highschool box league. For summer and school ball my stick is an ion on a sci ti shaft I use a shifty mid low pocket. For box any suggestions on whether It would be good to use the ion and maybe change the shaft. Or should I be getting a head similar to the ion but more adaptable to box and if so what?? Hopefully this makes sense. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
Used hero 2 this fall only complaints is that it gets slick in the rain and ig has a lil less hold than SK otherwise no complaints Should I use 4 in the spring or 2 (can’t beat the og striker tho ykwim)
Usually I’m the type to just figure it out on my own but I’m genuinely losing my mind trying to string a nice pocket with these two. Any help appreciated.
Howdy everyone, a friend on my HS team has an STX AV8 that looks like the mesh and strings haven't been changed after all these years. I know SK has the AV8 on their Ustring website but I'm not too sure if I should follow that or make something up. I'm not too good at stringing heads with not as many sidewall holes since most of my own heads have 18-20 holes. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated
Anyone have any good tricks for cleanin g up tape residue when replacing last seasons tape?
My 10U is playing with a Signature Origin and doing OK with it.
I’m looking to improve the performance of her stick without dropping three bills.
Will a Valkyrie pocket noticeably improve the performance (primarily hold) of the stick?
Is it mostly the top string that determines this? If so should it be tighter for a smoother release? Also would sk 5s mesh make a less smooth release because it’s harder?
Just asking where to buy a reliable string kit, trying it out for the first time. Tips would also be appreciated (using stallion 900). Also not trying to buy a traditree cause I don’t have 40 bucks
It is not the same of course, Liz Hogan (who o believe has done Charlottes stick for a while now) uses leathers in more of a true ‘corner pocket’ but I had to make due with what I had. I kinda just made it up as I went along, pretty happy with how it turned out! Absolutely has feel coming off the plastic but not as much as you would think. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts as she is one of the best women’s players ever and we see so few pockets like this!
