Theory: Greg's Stringing Style

[@bonglucky]

When I first started playing lacrosse I watch all of ECD videos trying to grasp the whole sport in. Then i got interested in stringing my own head and I would always only watch your videos on tutorials and theories and that really helped me. Now as part of my junior year I am a captain of my high school team and I'm the guy everyone goes to, to string their head. I would like to give a huge thank you to you guys because without ECD I wouldn't be where I am now. Just hearing about Greg's stringing pattern and him giving us the building blocks made me think about where I would be without you guys and I just wanted to let you guys know I support ECD and appreciate you guys so much. Thank you East Coast Dyes!

[@ECD]

+Andy Tham That's aweomse! Thank you for your support and keep up the great work!

[@prescottherbert9248]

The first lacrosse stringing video i watched was ECD's stallion pattern. That was the spark for my stringing, and have been a fav since. Owe it to you guys!

[@tobybrewster345]

Loving that you brought back the Theory Thursdays!

[@ECD]

Toby Brewster We are hoping to have a new one every Thursday

[@yummibearjasper1932]

+East Coast Dyes NICE greg. can you 1 on ROP P pokket

[@MTdubs35]

Can you do a theory Thursday on mid-low pockets and if there is anyway to have them have a quicker release? For example like quick stick goals or feeds?

[@jamessudlercockeythe5th882]

A good way to deal with it is to use a Iroquois top string or any drops top string

[@vibewithCEO]

I have to say that I loved this video and found it really helpful. Please keep making more string theories!

[@ECD]

Joshua Duperly Thanks man, Thanks for watching!

[@SnipingWolf84]

Thanks Greg this really helps! Keep up the great work!

[@kordcarlino3807]

Hey Greg are you playing at the ocean city classic on Sunday if so what time. Thanks awesome vide keep it up!!!!😀

[@noahshaver9534]

Hey I just wanted to say that you are my favorite lacrosse related person ever hahaha. You've basically taught me all I need to know with stringing and I got a Lakota for that reason haha. I'm really excited for your next line of videos and for some reason I have a fealing your gonna have like as many tutorials as UString 😂😂

[@tracialbers6149]

awesome love it keep up the great videos

[@insaedn]

i watch almost all of your videos

[@ECD]

Thanks man we appreciate that!

[@khongor1197]

i only use knots near the top because ive found down lower on the head the anchor knot or knot if thats what u call it starts to lay on the sidewall like a one, if u get what im trying to say.

[@LaxGirlsWorld]

Awesome video! I'm gonna try this pattern out! :)

[@ECD]

LaxGirlsWorld Thanks! let us know how it works out for you

[@stephnielsen1564]

great video!

[@chrisheckel3887]

I use a lot of SI's, I think they're the best and most versatile, and I use them because I like low whip, that's just me.

[@eddieflot5157]

Thanks!!!

[@dominickcandeloro6853]

Can you do a review on the tribe7 savage7 please I want to see how it is from another's perspective

[@wonkaworthy8863]

I learned how to string watching his videos-thanks

[@jamessudlercockeythe5th882]

Greg can you do a video on your idea of the perfect ncaa legal head and stringing job because most high schools and private schools are switching over to it and it would make since because stringing for a x spec head is a lot different then a high school spec head

[@gavingertsen376]

Hey Greg you guys should make a tutorial on this stringing theory

[@brandondiaz9576]

Actually just curious, how would you insert a pattern like this into a head like the hammer? I tried this pattern in a clutch and It worked very well! But the hammer has less sidewall holes.

[@timfoster8537]

East Coast Dyes I might get an ECD Carbon shaft, but will it fit my Lakota U?

[@jgasper991]

why do people use shooters on bottom strings? im curious ive always used regular nylon

[@ECD]

the gaming sheep a little stronger than a traditional nylon.

[@envisionstrings3500]

Can you make a video on shooting string placement and I also string similar to u

[@aptoreactt697]

Getting stuck strung tomorrow, what do you recommend for a super power plus under the college rules and mid pocket? Mainly the shooters?

[@chrisheckel3887]

3 shooters on the 10 diamond rows.

[@HarryJohnsonHNJ]

1. Mid pocket with 2 straights 2. Mid pocket 2 straights 1 nylon 3. Mid pocket 1 straight 2 nylons

[@aptoreactt697]

What's low whip? Also anyone have the stx stallion 500 85 flex?

[@aptoreactt697]

What's best for low whip not what is lol?

[@Baconator5150]

+Apto Reactt best for low whip is 3 straights

[@muhamedfre8942]

I'm a defender that likes higher pockets is that ok because I know defenders usually have low pockets

[@ECD]

Muhamed Fre of course its ok, you can use whatever pocket you are comfortable with

[@brandondiaz9576]

Could you do a new tutorial for the Stx Hanmer?

[@brandondiaz9576]

Hammer*

[@austinhittle8644]

hey Greg, when are you guys going to make more colors on heromesh, Hero strings

[@ECD]

Arrow Head Lax they are all in the works now

[@connernolt4433]

Can you do this pattern with an Rp3? Not the II but the first one?

[@bencross5905]

Could you do a tutorial on how to string a mid to mid-high pocket?

[@ECD]

Ben Cross On what head?

[@bencross5905]

Warrior rabil 2 x-spec

[@michaeldinn2829]

Why do wider heads go for defense and skinnier heads for offense?

[@dukeofmadden2495]

hey east coast dyes should i get the maverik optik or a stx super power plus i am a middie who shoots sometimes and i like to dodge one handed and cradle two

[@ECD]

+greg wever everyone here is on the optik kick right now. It's a great head

[@elvisreyes4519]

Hey Greg, i have a question for you. Lately its been reining in New York and when i play out side my mesh gets wet, then it bags out and the pocket becomes illegal. So my question is, How can i fix my pocket so that i don't have to adjust it to make it legal? Please reply, Have a nice day! :P

[@rdePetris5]

Use waterproof mean like heromesh

[@ECD]

Elvis Reyes Make the switch to hero mesh!

[@adrianbecerra5986]

When you finish stringing the head do you cut the extra pice of mesh, it looks like you do and that is how you get like the tail to be pulled up like that, I have east coast mesh in my head and I have a lot more extra mesh than what it seems your heads have.?

[@cameronbawolek8923]

he had hero mezh

[@tobybrewster345]

Adrian Becerra Yeah he cuts his mesh after he's done stringing and then melts it so it doesn't fray. He shows it in some of his live stringing videos.

[@adrianbecerra5986]

Toby Brewster does that ruin the mesh at all, trimming a piece of the extra off and then melting it so it doesnt fray?

[@tobybrewster345]

It makes it shorter, but besides that? no. Just be very careful that you get a straight cut on the end of the diamond row you want to cut, and make sure you don't over or under melt the mesh afterwards.

[@27terps]

I use the same setup as you in an optik except it is college legal.

[@willmckay6915]

What stick do you use now

[@ECD]

+Will Mckay He uses both focus and carbon. Depends which head he wants to use that day

[@amandawight8130]

Maybe you could string a stx professor for a tutorial

[@calvinhurt9651]

Greg you thought me how to string, thank you

[@davidm.corbin4643]

Dat Amurica Head though.

[@seamushayes4265]

[@joedefreitas8672]

Can u do a new nike ceo pattern mud pocket?

[@D.Heisler]

Trad or six diamond is what i like....( six diamond hero mesh pls )

[@ECD]

MinecraftManegement maybe some day we will have that. working on colors and goalie mesh right now

[@ronnietrisuzzi9259]

what shooters do u recommend for that pattern?

[@jaylenoschin3741]

Well he has u's

[@ronnietrisuzzi9259]

no shit sherlock.

[@khongor1197]

Mojo Lacrosse you can never go wrong with 3 straight shooters unless its like a pretty high pocket

[@tobybrewster345]

Mojo Lacrosse It's mostly preference, but 2 U's and a nylon is a good choice if it's legal in your league and if you want a stronger shot. I personally prefer one straight and a nylon because I can still get a lot of whip and power, but it's also more consistent and more versatile.

[@jahcobc8463]

thank you just thanks

[@ECD]

Jacob Chiasson no problem man. Thanks for watching!

[@remyreyes7680]

Greg you should review TheLacrosseBox.com

[@michaelfarinacci6359]

If I play kiddie and attack what head should I get

[@aptoreactt697]

While the noz 2 would be a nice choice. Also the super power

[@muhamedfre8942]

RP3 is a great head for those positions especially with a nice high pocket

[@tobybrewster345]

Michael Farinacci The Optik is a solid head if your a shooter and/or a one handed player. It's better suited for an attackman. The Centrik is also a great choice if you want a stronger head better suited for a two handed player and/or a player that plays on the defensive side of the ball also. They're both great choices.

[@adrianbecerra5986]

Can you do an actual tutorial for how you get your pockets so that we can get a visual tutorial?

[@cameronbawolek8923]

he has

[@adrianbecerra5986]
