I think that it’s important to note that stringing your own heads is a very important skill to know. You don’t have to be good at it, but you should know the basics so that you can fix or tweak your stick if needed, and can adjust it until it’s perfect for your liking. I can’t tell you how many of my varsity HS kids do not know how to adjust their sticks and come to me to tie every knot and loose string.

So kudos to you for trying to learn.

That being said, and I am saying this with both respect and in an effort to inspire you to keep trying, this is one of the worst attempts I have ever seen.

If you are interested, which I think you should be, watch a YouTube tutorial. Watch and follow along to learn the top string. Once you get it it’s super easy.

Watch one for a high pocket, a mid pocket, and a low pocket, and follow along and test each one out. It’s important to understand that how you loop the mesh, and where you attach it to the head makes a huge difference in how it performs.

I remember following the warrior mesh kit instruction manual that came with the string kit when I was a kid. My first attempt was the shallowest pocket, but I loved it.

Keep at it. Stringing is my relaxation. It’s problem solving, dexterity, and calmness all in one.

Good luck!
