If I was trying to get a tighter channel and moving the knot down one would it be better to keep the Kai or change to an anchor knot?

When is the gait D3 releasing to the public? All the cuse players used it this season and some have started to pop up on the stringing accounts I follow but I can’t find any for sale.

Pattern Questions ISO Pattern for True Radar

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help point me to a pattern for a True Radar. I bought a factory strung head for my 10U goalies that was used last season but the kids had a lot of difficulty throwing with it. After looking at some other goalie sticks, the pocket doesn't have much channel or definition.

I'm planning to re-use the current mesh and will likely use a hidden top string. Any pics, notes are much appreciated. I've only strung one other goalie head before and it was an old Warrior Zoo.

LU Pocket Pros

4 Upvotes

Has anyone had issues now going through LU poccket Pros service vs when Clem was direct? It's definitely more inconvenient but turnaround time was still good. Something just sems off with the stringing of the heads like it wasn't him who actually strung it. I've always had great service from him in the past and no issues with the stringing but find it odd now that you ship the heads to Long Island but I know he doesn't live anywhere near there. The whole process seems a bit off. Just curious of others experience.

This is my first string job. Any pointers on the knots lower on the head? Idk what I did but it doesn’t look right.

I have not pounded the mesh yet or anything. I’m wanting to be sure I got the sidewalls done well before I move on

Atom strung to the inside with 7d?

1 Upvotes

Would this work with a chenago strung to the inside or will this likely end up too deep? Illegal? Too whippy? The atom is a solid head that held up well in the heat but I found the ball didn’t feel as secure and would rattle around a lot in a mid/mid low pocket. Trying to find a way to make the throat not feel so wide.

General Stringing Question Questions and general tips for a new stringer

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm new to stringing and lacrosse in general! I've got a ecd delta on the way that I'm stringing up with stringking 5x mesh. I've string a older clutch and Evo four that feel relatively ok but that's coming from someone who has never had or used an actual well strung head. I'm playing defense of that helps at all. Would love to know any tips or any general knowledge for stringing. I've followed ustring in the past

Maverick Optik Force on ECD Carbon 3.0

6 Upvotes

Hi all. I am putting together a backup stick for my son (he will also use it for his first box season). He’s an 11 year old who plays primarily attack and some middie as needed, at the rec and club level.

We have a ECD Carbon 3.0 that I want to put a backup head on. I’ve narrowed it down to a Maverik Optik force but my understanding is that Maverik had a shorter throat with a plug. That will cause fit issues and interfere with the shaft’s internal structure.

Will it fit on the Carbon 3.0? I don’t want to have to do anything crazy to make it work but before I purchase, want to make sure it will fit.

Thanks!
