“Nice and snug” proceeds to completely pull it down with all his strength😂

[@ECD]

Lol I needed to make sure of that channel was't going anywhere

[@jaydenginsberg4235]

Just want to comment this for anyone who dosent know if they want to get a rebel D I play at a high level in Lacrosse with many different games and practices all year long and it is by far the best D head on the market it is super stiff and always strings for a good pocket it makes those slap checks extra harsh or just trying to strip the ball. Great job on this one ECD

[@ECD]

Thanks Jayden! We truly appreciate the awesome feedback. Keep crushing the game #Hardworkpaysoff

[@jolanitrotman8045]

This is like the same pattern as Deemer Class and Ryan Brown’s old mirage lol. Memorized that pattern. I’ve strung it a million times in my own Mirage. Great video as always👍

[@ECD]

Most of the patterns we use are very similar. We really believe in that style. Glad you like it!

[@noahmcgriff511]

SAME

[@naodamdetsyon6929]

I have nothing but sympathy for my fellow goalies who have been shot on by lsms

[@jonahstaebell4241]

You should do a six diamond mesh stringing for all those crazy defenders 😉

[@Hycalon]

😅

[@louisleonardo6521]

Thanks sm, im getting the head in a couple of days bc i broke my old one and have a face off head

[@herbaderb5239]

I have looked everywhere, but no videos telling me how to do my shooting strings for this head, having a real tough time!!!!

[@ECD]

Shooting strings are easy! Just take your time and weave them through keeping them as flat as possible

[@djtsiantoulas3]

Herb Aderb just look it up on KZbin. It’s the easiest part of stringing

[@Chris-mk2wd]

I heard some people dont like the mirage. What was the problem with it that everyone says the rebel(offense) is doing better? Edit: Greg whats your favorite offensive head?

[@flynit192]

Mirages warp easy, and the face is not very pinched considering it’s purpose.

[@Silvabullet312]

My rebel defense just broke and I want to know if i can get a warranty replacement. The screw hole ripped straight down. 👎👎👎

[@MrJimmyGalls]

Any way to purchase one strung?

[@alexgreenberg6236]

This is the only defensive head I would buy even though I play attack

[@ECD]

Hey I might even suit up with one in a men's league game!

[@char9550]

To bad it’s discontinued

[@fenlpj]

I have a high pocket with two straights and a U. How can I make it have less whip because right now it goes straight into the ground?

[@ECD]

Try taking the U out first and then possibly if that is still too much you can take out another straight shooting string

[@noahzaker5096]

Greg did you see that Adam Ghitelman(think that’s correctly spelled) was using 12d striker?

[@ECD]

Great eye! That is sick to see. He is unreal!

[@wesleyhazzard459]

Hey Greg I was wondering if you could restock rebel offenses for universal lacrosse, I ordered one but it was a rebel defense and not an offense (my mistake, but they were out of stock so they said they would get one to me when they came back in stock. Also, I have a tournament next weekend and I would love to rock a rebel offense at the game. I will string up the rebel offense with JW1 mesh.

[@moogmoog7836]

Ecm black or regular ecd mesh for a 6D pocket?

[@cratonhart6549]

Thanks for the vid

[@hvogel7763]

Ive been beating the crap out of my rebel d for a month with 4 practices a week and its stayed in great shape its only bent a tiny bit

[@chrishewgs6180]

H Vogel mine broke in 2 weeks but they sent me a new one

[@benromanowski6631]

My pocket came out kinda low... what might I have done wrong?

[@ECD]

If it came out low, you may want to go back and make sure everything is tightened up but hey if it works well and throws fine you might just want to stick with it.

[@benromanowski6631]

ECD Lacrosse thanks! I love your channel btw. Really teaching me how to become a better player

[@mstrategyus7548]

if only i could get my hands on a head to do this pattern. thinking this would be great for my varsity lacrosse season.

[@ECD]

Time to put in the work to make your varsity seasons count!

[@carchaseplayz6129]

what kit did you use

[@remjobby61]

Beautiful

[@teammlj2881]

Sick

[@JacobSmith-pe3gl]

String a tank!!!!! I can’t get a rebel and can’t find and good pattern for the tank

[@ECD]

Jake, Here's the link of videos we would use to string your tank

[@JacobSmith-pe3gl]

ECD Lacrosse no link??

[@JacobSmith-pe3gl]

I was thinking of just si and stacked si and hope it works but I don’t know

[@djtsiantoulas3]

I’m looking into using this pocket as a defense/lsm for my pole and for a 2 way middie on a short stick. Both using the dna. But I still need to talk to nick about the pattern and do a little more research, but how much whip would this pocket have with 1 nylon and 2 straights?

[@ECD]

These pockets don't have a lot of whip

[@djtsiantoulas3]

ECD Lacrosse ok thanks

[@laxmonkey222]

ECD ur the best

[@ECD]

Thanks Laxmonkey22

[@Alexruppert1]

Ya

[@savagenationb1546]

I have this it’s awesome

[@ECD]

Awesome. Did you string yours yourself?

[@jackbrick2967]

Would it be a good fit on a metal 2 defense shaft

[@ECD]

Of course!

[@sammypautrat4661]

What kind of mesh did u use?

[@ECD]

Hero semi soft

[@michaellayne7740]

I usually love the way greg strings an easy step by step tutorial but I followed this exact one 4 times and the pocket came out completely shallow and very low. anyone got any ideas?

[@ECD]

Hmm.. maybe the tension was just off. Were you using the same piece of mesh that we used?

[@karl9673]

@@ECD what mesh did u guys use?

[@djtsiantoulas3]

Nrt_Damfam05 most likely hero 2.0

[@kalemosiniak7800]

Can you guys do a review of the string king mark 2f?????

[@ECD]

We may, but I would check out Greg Gurenlian's review. He knows a little more than use about faceoffs!

[@brookstaylor8691]

So does this work for all d heads

[@ECD]

It should for head that have a similar number of holes.

[@braybray9493]

so how do i string the top string?

[@ECD]

Just like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5mxcnZ5oteNsNE

[@joesolimene7709]

do you have one for the mirage

[@ECD]

Joe, In the link below is our favorite videos for stringing the Mirage kzbin.info?search_query=mirage+stringing

[@s3xyv3gan97]

Can you do a this old lacrosse head viper 2

[@ECD]

It might be hard for us to track one down but if we are successful we can try to do something like that this summer

[@goober9355]

Can you do a tutorial on the warrior regulator?

[@ECD]

We can try I am not sure we have one laying around the office anymore.

[@mattraugh8748]

Pattern for mid pocket?

[@ECD]

Try this Top string on 2nd Loop start on 3rd 0,0, knot,0, knot,0, knot,1,1,2 skip,1 skip, 1

[@livingstoncheng1624]

6-diamond tutorial please!

[@ECD]

We will see but for the mean time check out this video on 6d mesh kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5u8mqCZaZulpac

[@ZumbawithDorothy]

Why wouldn’t you start from the very first one?

[@ECD]

It helps keep the top string tighter

[@austinborns4245]

Do a tutorial for the ua command low

[@ECD]

Our friend over at Mako sports have a great stringing tutorial Link is below kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnPOmpRsjchoj5Y

[@melaniekilman7708]
