My son and I send many thanks for this, man. JUST so happened to have a Tacktik 2.0 and Mesh here and this is a great way to ease into a littttle more time at home than expected.

We just strung a side wall! My 11 year old son and I learned so much from your video. Thank you for this awesome video!

[@Rooster0505]

Just got my Burn Fo, I had no Idea how to string a head, now I can! Thank you so much!

[@larryoniskey56]

This is the best sidewall tutorial I’ve ever seen. I learned how to string a stick just a couple weeks ago and now I’m stringing so many in one day.

[@calebervin915]

Hey Chris, great video!! I was just wondering if you would change anything if stringing a maverik kinetik?? Thank you

[@southtxslowpitch2182]

Would this work for the Adidas enrayge? if not, what style of pocket would work the best?

[@Iehne]

Just finished stringing a duel 3 thx

[@mikeg2042]

Is there a difference between doing a stacked si and a stacked knitted si like you do here?

[@mezger918]

Any difference in doing your ones from the top instead of coming up through the bottom? I wouldn’t think so but just curious...

[@jackduncan4935]

why am I watching this when I know how to string already

[@leocarrigan2890]

Very helpful

[@jackk7331]

Do a review on hero 3 plz

[@archieprovan7859]

Great video, buddy looks cooked haha

[@travisshepard2873]

I’m am confused during quarantine stringing different heads have different number of holes so what do you do? Also how do you make different pockets

[@Daveyidk]

I think the pocket depth depends on the bottom string and where the pocket sits depends on the sidewall

[@9kahne91]

I give up my head just won’t be strung by me, I just broke my head because the sting wouldn’t pull over and now it’s bent

[@dadsinpads676]

I've strung this step by step configuration on an STX and a UA head and the channel just seems so freaking tight. What am I doing wrong?

[@mainelymesh]

Unfortunately, it could be a whole host of things. First is that different heads have different numbers of sidewall holes, so double check that first. When heads have fewer sidewall holes, following this pattern will lead to more channel. Second thing to make sure you're doing is breaking in the mesh both before and after you string it up, so pounding in the pocket, stretching out the mesh before you string it, etc. Third is to factor in what mesh you're using. Sometimes hero mesh can require a little more break in work, whereas StringKing can be a pit more pliable. The point of this video is more to offer a template for you to work within, not a truly universal pattern (alas, there is no such thing). Always feel free to DM me on instagram or email me with pictures so I can give more specific advice!

[@foxxtronix6556]

dude stringing the left side like he is in the video is easy but as soon as i went to the other side i have no clue what to do

[@jasonstukey346]

How do u guys know what holes to go thru?

[@jacobsiekmann426]

Torque Tuesday

[@jakepratt403]

This is nice, but I still like all SIs down the side

[@flamezombie9067]

Does this method work on all lacrosse heads?

[@mainelymesh]

It doesn't always apply to wider defensive heads or some more funky profiles but its a fairly good general rule!

[@flamezombie9067]

@@mainelymesh Thanks. Also I was able to fully string my ascension head with your stringing tutorials. Keep up the good work.

[@driving_miner7101]

Great tutorial but you don’t say which holes they go through

[@chasecarrier1841]

can i use a nylon

[@mainelymesh]

Technically yes, but it will be much less durable

[@possiblymediocre6853]

make sure you show the newbies how to properly break the pocket in

[@tqelaughner1156]

Lol

[@avapea24]

next time please put in the description that this is for how to string a MENS sidewalls ;-; I just strung my whole stick only to find out it’s completely wrong

[@mainelymesh]

Oh yikes, sorry! Still not used to mesh being legal in the women's game!

[@avapea24]

@@mainelymesh it’s ok! still a very well explained video

[@jessicajohnson8395]

Down

[@jessicajohnson8395]

Slow

[@mainelymesh]

I will try to work on that! For what it's worth, if you click the settings button at the base of the video, you can adjust the playback speed all the way down to a quarter speed. Hope that helps!
