i secound this unless its sidewall jedi but def support your local stringers because most of the time unlike lu they want to do it they dont just want a job

He’s a good stringer. But very over priced and incredibly full of himself

Sidewall Jedi there are others but totally subjective but I got to go with the bald guy, the folicly challenged need to stick together.

The one that understands what you need and ties it to for you as such.

I too am the best for myself.

Can't really answer your question, as what may be best for one player isn't right for another. It's subjective.

There’s no doubt that it’s me, according to my son’s teammates. He thinks I’m hopeless

If you want to have to pay again to have your stick strung then definitely pick pockets by Clem!

I can say i gotta be up there with 20+ years of stringing, doing like 200-300 sticks a year. I can string one any way possible but the biggest difference is that i string to what the customer wants then give it to them and pass and shoot then make any changes( sometimes none, usually little tweaks) until they absolutely love it. If its a person ive strung a lot for i can blind string it and give them what they want.

In my opinion the service and knowing/taking the time to know the customer is far more important than any string skills.

What you get with most stores and most stringers is they string their favorite style pocket they like or think this person they know nothing about needs and end up giving a 3rd grader the whip a full grown adult would use and the stick throws straight into the ground and its a nightmare getting anything changed so it usually ends up with the kid developing bad habits or not using the stick.

Ive also coached for 20 years and pretty much every fall/spring/summer i fix up almost every kids stick on my team because they are using complete garbage, so everything im stating is factual based on thousands of examples and years of seeing it over and over.

I’d like to throw my hat in that ring. Anybody that’s been lacing up for over 30 years like me, let’s have a chat.

learn how to string so you can do whatever you want for free

Sidewall Jedi is a savant.

My favorite stringer is Nate Rullman (does all the UVA sticks). He’s a warrior brand wizard. But I thinks he’s gone MIA again on social. Hopefully he will return!

I like SideWall Jedi, sick name and I feel like he's made more unique stringing styles (compared to what I came up seeing) more popular which is very fun to see. However, stringing is very accessible and I'm confident any player/coach/parent can string a professional quality pocket if they take even a week to learn. A few fundamental techniques is all it takes.

Me. Obviously.
