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!

Tips for dyeing

This is the first time I'm dyeing a head since middle school (almost 10 years now). I think I can do the pattern I want but I want to hear what y'all have learned! What are the best products to use? How do I set up a vinyl to fit a lacrosse head?

Stringking Mark 3V?

Anyone able to get their hands on one? Does it come close to justifying that price?

First time stringing, how’d I do?

This was the first time I string my stick since our pro stringing passed away, how’d I do and any pointers? Using hero 4 and a DNA 2.0, went for a mid-low pocket. Just used it for a fall ball game and its passing has been nice. Any suggestions or tips are wanted and welcome.

Rock-it-pocket

Does anyone here know who created the Rock-it pocket? I remember their tents at youth tournaments as a kid. Remember playing chumash with those super narrow goals too…

Anyone got any info regarding Rock-it pocket?

Getting into the holiday spirit

Yeah, I know it's not "historically accurate." Just wanted to do something fun.

What shaft?

So I have this old Gait head (the orange one on the left), I'd like to know what shaft originally came with it, so I can put it back together. I'm not sure if it was an old 6000, 803, SC55, Ice, or what.

Thanks.

Ever seen something so bad it’s kind of impressive?

Classic Play It Again Sports special right here….Took it right out of the kids hands at rec league practice, handed him my Ion and said take this home for a week while I fix this monstrosity. Gonna toss a fresh slice of mesh in, royal blue sides and carolina blue shooters.

The parents were very new and very appreciative. Always feels good to pay it forward!

Stay stringing gentleman!

Entirely tightening the bottom lace to make the pocket more shallow and lower down?

Hi. I have gotten a new stick and it seems to have quite a bit of whip. I have read online that reducing the depth and height of the pocket would help with this. As I am a beginner, I don't think I'd be able to restring the head and was wondering if there would be any negative effects of entirely tightening the bottom lace. Thanks in advance

Can you dye a Bone warrior qx-2o?

Hey! My question is if you dye a Warrior Qx-2o Bone colour, will the dye colour turn out different and if so how would you dye it to get the colour you want? (added picture of the head i have.)

How well would an ion pocket transfer to a tactik 3.0?

I have been using the ion for about a year and I love the pocket that I have in it but it just broke yesterday. I am curious if anyone has experience transferring a pattern to a tactik from an ion. And wondering if it would give me the same pocket.

One string for top string and side wall

I plan on restring my head with one 60 inch sidewall/top string.(like how ecd Greg had his stick) I can't find any info how to do this the right way. I just assume that I should start at the middle of my top string and work my way down the head on each side. Has anyone done this and has some tips or a better way to do it?

Pound your pockets!

Before and after pocket pounding. Why take days or weeks to fully and completely break in your pocket when it should never take more than 60 seconds. Eclipse 3 with an ObiWand topstring using some Mesh Dynasty 12D.
